Popis: Electrically pumped random lasing based on Pd/SiO2/ZnO nanorods (NRs) structures is demonstrated. Chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique was used to synthesize the ZnO NRs. Then, an insulating layer of SiO2 was deposited via radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. After that, direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering was used to deposit palladium (Pd) metal contacts on the sample through a shadow mask. The electrical, morphological as well as optical characteristics of the ZnO NRs were analyzed. The device exhibits typical Schottky diode current–voltage (I-V) characteristics at a turn-on voltage of 6.18 V. The electroluminescence (EL) spectra shows good random lasing behavior with lasing peaks centered at approximately 380 nm and exhibited a threshold current of 37.5 mA. This report reveals Pd as a relatively cheaper material and low-cost CBD fabrication method is sufficient to fabricate electrically pumped random laser devices. Furthermore, this report also present a new way to interpret the mechanism of random lasing in the device.
