Some Properties of Semiconductor-Ferroelectric Structures

Abstract

This paper presents the properties of semiconductor-ferroelectric structures consisting of ZnO nanorods grown at low temperatures by the hydrothermal method on LiNbO3 and LiNbO3:Fe substrates. The resulting structures were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, photoluminescence, and spectrophotometry. SEM images and spectra, absorption spectra, and photoluminescence spectra in the ultraviolet and visible ranges are presented. The studies have shown the possibility of using, along with others, the hydrothermal method for synthesizing Zn(NO3)26H2O and C6H12N4 to obtain arrays of ZnO nanorods as a sensitive element of surfactant-based UV radiation sensors.
