Özet
A simple chemical bath deposition method was used to prepare high density ZnO nanorods on ZnO seeded Si substrates. Upon the nanorods growth, Cu-doping was achieved by diffusion process at 500 degrees C for different times in vacuum ambient. The structural, optical, and magnetic properties of the obtained ZnO:Cu nanorods were then examined. XRD analysis showed that undoped and ZnO:Cu samples were highly c-axis oriented with a hexagonal wurtzite structure. SEM analysis indicated that ZnO:Cu nanorods had diameters of similar to 200 nm and lengths of similar to 1.5 mu m. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy demonstrated that Cu was successfully doped into ZnO in a divalent state. Photoluminescence results showed that Cu-doping caused a decrease in the green band intensity of nanorods compared to undoped ZnO. Room temperature magnetic measurements showed that pure ZnO nanorods exhibited ferromagnetism that might be ascribed to defect-induced d(0) ferromagnetism. All the ZnO:Cu nanorods also showed the room temperature ferromagnetism that was attributed to the bound magnetic polarons (BMPs).
