Abstract

Self-assembled roselike ZnO nanostructures were synthesized via thermal evaporation of zinc powders without catalytic assistance at the relatively low temperature of 550 °C. The roselike structures consist of a large number of ZnO nanorods that uniformly arrange into hexagonal multilayers. The spontaneous nanoindentation effects under geometric constraints can be used to explain the structures. The cathodoluminescence spectra show a wide visible emission band related to Zn interstitials and oxygen vacancies. Field emission measurements demonstrate that the roselike ZnO nanostructures possess good electron emission characteristics with a turn-on field of 4.3 V/μm. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
