Room Temperature Photoluminescence and Photoconductivity of Wet Chemical Deposited ZnO Nanowires Used for Solar Cells

ZnO 1-D nanostructures (nanowires) were deposited by a two-step wet chemical process. The dimensions of wires were about 100 nm - 1100 nm in length and about 20 - 120 nm in diameter. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique was used to obtain the microstructural infor...
