Abstract

Abstract: The Cd-doped ZnO nanotubes with Cd content of about 3.3at% were synthesized via a process of evaporating mixture of pure Zn and Cd powders and then oxidating in a wet condition. Field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) analysis indicate that most of the nanotubes are of about 80-150nm in outer diameter, several micrometers in length, and about 20nm in wall thickness. Compared with photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the pure ZnO nanostructures prepared in the same condition, the room-temperature ultraviolet (UV) near-band-edge (NBE) emission of the Zn_1-xCd_xO nanotubes exhibite a slight red shift from 3.26eV to 3.20eV, which is attributed to Cd substitution. It is suggested that the growth of the Zn_1-xCd_xO nanotubes follow vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism, and a possible growth process of the Zn_1-xCd_xO nanotubes is put forward. The Kirkendall effect is considered to play an important role in the formation of the Zn_1-xCd_xO nanotubes.
