Highly orientated ZnO thin films and the self-organized ZnO nanorods can be easily prepared by a simple chemical vapor deposition method using zinc acetate as a source material at the growth temperature of 180 and 320 degrees C, respectively. The ZnO thin films deposited on Si (100) substrate have good crystallite quality with the thickness of 490 nm after annealing in oxygen at 800 degrees C. The ZnO nanorods grown along the [0001] direction have average diameter of 40 nm with length up to 700 nm. The growth mechanism for ZnO nanorods can be explained by a vapor-solid (VS) mechanism. Photoluminescence (PL) properties of ZnO thin films and self-organized nanorods were investigated. The luminescence mechanism for green band emission was attributed to oxygen vacancies and the surface states related to oxygen vacancy played a significant role in PL spectra of ZnO nanorods.
