Optical properties of ZnO deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on Si nanowires [PDF]
Materials Science and Engineering: B, 2018 In this work, we report proof-of-concept results on the synthesis of Si core/ ZnO shell nanowires (SiNWs/ZnO) by combining nanosphere lithography (NSL), metal assisted chemical etching (MACE) and atomic layer deposition (ALD). The structural properties of the SiNWs/ZnO nanostructures prepared were investigated by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy ...
