RT Journal Article T1 Self-assembled tin-doped ZnO nanowire and nanoplate structures grown by thermal treatment of ZnS powder A1 Ortega Villafuerte, Yanicet A1 Fernández Sánchez, Paloma A1 Piqueras De Noriega, Francisco Javier AB Sintering of a ZnS-SnO(2) mixture under argon flow leads to the growth of columnar nanoplate arrays as well as arrays of nanowires, nanorods and nanoplates with six-fold symmetry. The six-fold nanoplate structures correspond to a more advanced stage of growth than the nanowire structures. Cathodoluminescence (CL) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that the structures contain Sri, but the amount of this element is normally under the detection limit of X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The formation of branches in the hierarchical structures depends on the presence of Sri and on defects in the Mixture powder.
