摘要
The Ga- and In-doped ZnO nanorods were prepared by hydrothermal method, and the effect of the hydrogen annealing on their morphology, structure and luminescence properties was investigated in detail. The results indicated that the annealing treatment resulted in the improvement of the surface roughness and the crystallization of the nanorods. Furthermore, the hydrogen-annealed nanorods exhibited a significant enhancement of the ultraviolet emission and simultaneous suppression of the visible emission under ultraviolet and X-ray excitation, as well as a sub-nanosecond fluorescence decay time. It means that these nanorods are expected to be promising candidates for applications in superfast and high-spatial-resolution X-ray imaging detectors. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
