ZnO nanobelts grown on Si substrate

Using infrared irradiation to heat an industrial brass (Cu–Zn alloy) disk in moderate vacuum, ZnO nanobelts were directly prepared on a Si substrate. The nanobelts had a single-crystal hexagonal structure and grew along the [0001] direction. The nanobelts had two distinct widths along their entire length. Photoluminescence measurement showed that the nanobelts had an intensive near-band ultraviolet emission at 379 nm. Large-area growth and high quality indicate that the prepared ZnO nanobelts have potential application in optoelectronic devices.
