RT Journal Article T1 Growth and Luminescence of Nanowires and Oriented Nanoplate Arrays of Mg Doped ZnO A1 Urbieta Quiroga, Ana Irene A1 Fernández Sánchez, Paloma A1 Piqueras de Noriega, Javier AB Sintering of a ZnO-MgO powder mixture under argon flow leads to the growth of elongated Mg doped ZnO structures such as stacks of nanoplates and rods with secondary nanowires in a comb-like arrangement. The nanoplates grow perpendicular to a central axis and have a six-fold symmetry. The hierarchical growth is related to the presence of Mg. Cathodoluminescence (CL) in the scanning electron microscope shows a blue-shift of the ZnO exciton peak as well as changes in the deep level bands due to the influence of Mg.
