The growth of Al: ZnO nanorods on a silicon substrate using a low-temperature thermal evaporation method is reported. The samples were fabricated within a horizontal quartz tube under controlled supply of O-2 gas where Zn and Al powders were previously mixed and heated at 700 C. This allows the reac...
