Abstract

Pure ZnO nanorods were grown from aqueous solutions at low temperature (90 °C) by hydrothermal growth technique on sapphire (0001) substrate coated with ZnO thin film. X-ray diffraction results show that these nanorods crystallize in the wurtzite structure having space group P63mc and that they are oriented along the c-axis. Raman and photo-luminescence studies show the presence of oxygen vacancies in the ZnO nanorods. The ZnO nanorods show room temperature ferromagnetism.
