Popis: ZnO nanorod arrays are grown on a-plane GaN template/r-plane sapphire substrates by hydrothermal technique. Aqueous solutions of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and hexamethylenetetramine were employed as growth precursors. Electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements were carried out for morphology, phase and growth orientation analysis. Single crystalline nanorods were found to have off-normal growth and showed well-defined in-plane epitaxial relationship with the GaN template. The 〈0 0 0 1〉 axis of the ZnO nanorods were observed to be parallel to the 〈1 0 1¯ 0〉 of the a-plane GaN layer. Optical property of the as-grown ZnO nanorods was analyzed by room temperature photoluminescence measurements.
