Abstract

Different three-dimension (3D) nanotetrapods, containing club-like nanocrystals, nanotetrapods and four-foot-like nanocrystals were synthesized from Zinc sheet via CO2 laser irradiation and coaxially transporting O2. Different nanoproducts were fabricated by changing the content of oxygen in the experiment. The morphologies, components, phase structures and optical properties of the products were investigated by a field-emission scanning electron microscopy, an X-ray diffraction, an energy dispersed X-ray spectrometer and a photoluminescence spectroscope. The X-ray diffraction spectra were obtained on a Rigaku D/max 2500PC diffractometer. The experimental results reveal that high quality ZnO nanotetrapods can be fabricated on the special parameters, and growth of ZnO nanotetrapods depends on Vapour-Liquid-Solid(VLS) model, and the content of oxygen in the gas, namely, oxygen partial pressure is one of main factors to control morphologies and optical properties of ZnO nanotetrapods; these advantages above are important for realization of optoelectronic devices.
