Abstract

Hydrothermal growth of highly c-axis oriented ZnO nanorods with high aspect ratio on pulsed laser deposited ZnO seed layer is reported. Effect of pre-heating time, growth time and seed layer on the structural, morphological and optical properties of ZnO nanorods is presented. The possible growth mechanism for ZnO nanorods is also discussed.
