Synthesizing and Characterizing Zinc Oxide
Over recent years Zinc Oxide (ZnO), a wide band gap semiconductor material, is finding increased attention due to its unique properties and versatile applications in several technologically important fields such as transparent electronics, ultraviolet light emitters, piezoelectric devices, toxic gas sensors, spintronics, radiation detectors and solar cells. Scientists from the Environmental and Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), Oakridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and University of Tennessee at Knoxville are working on synthesizing and characterizing different ZnO nanostructure for radiation detectors and solar cell applications. Helium ion microscope images of several different ZnO nanostructures synthesized at EMSL are shown here.
