Abstract
Although nano-sized zinc ferrite materials exhibit excellent visible light activity, their photoresponse characteristics as photodetectors have rarely been investigated. In this paper, zinc ferrite nanotube arrays were fabricated using electrodeposition with the aid of zinc oxide nanowire arrays as a template. These nanotube arrays showed tens of milliseconds-response photocurrents under the irradiation of a 532 nm solid-state laser, and the magnitudes of the photocurrents were linearly increased with increasing laser power. These features of ZnFe2O4 nanotube arrays revealed their potential applications in high-frequency or high-speed photodevices.
