Abstract

Microrod arrays of zinc oxide with copper have been grown by chemical vapor deposition on single-crystal sapphire substrates preliminarily covered with a nanoscale copper layer. The presence of copper (about 0.3%) in zinc-oxide microrods has been experimentally shown to increase the photoluminescence intensity of the ZnO microcrystal arrays, reduce the lasing threshold, and lead to a small (by ~2.5 nm) blue shift of the radiation intensity peak of the ZnO microcrystals. It is shown that the laser-radiation character depends on the morphology of the ZnO microrod arrays.
