A simple method of thermal evaporation to fabricate micro and nanostructures of zinc oxide was presented. ZnO micro and nanostructures, prepared under different quantity of O-2, were characterized by techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and analytical transmission electron Microscope. The SEM images indicated that the products prepared under the condition of sufficient O-2 were needle-like microrods and the samples synthesized under the condition of deficient O-2 were nanorods and nanowires with very high aspect ratio. The results of XRD and Raman shifts revealed that the ZnO micro and nanostructures synthesized under different quantity of O-2 were both single crystalline with the hexagonal wurtzite structure. The HRTEM images indicated that the ZnO nanowire prepared under the condition of deficient O-2 was single crystalline and grown along the direction of [001]. Photoluminescence measurement was carried out and it showed that the spectra of ZnO micro and nanostructures prepared under different quantity of O-2 exhibited similar emission features. In addition, the growth mechanism of ZnO micro and nanostructures was preliminarily discussed. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
