Abstract
Highly ordered ZnO nanowire arrays were fabricated by oxidizing the metal Z n that was electrodeposited in the pores of anodic alumina membranes (AAMs) . The diameters of ZnO nanowires range from 15 to 90 nm. Atomic force micro scope, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy observations indicate the polycrystalline ZnO nanowires were uniformly assembled into t he hexagonally-arranged nanochannels of the AAM. A green emission band caus ed by the singly ionized oxygen vacancy in the ZnO nanowires was also repor ted.
