UV detectors and LEDs in different metal oxide nanostructures

• Different composite nanostructures based pn-junctions have been synthesized using the low temperature hydrothermal chemical growth. The composite nanostructures based pn junctions demonstrated here include p-NiO/n-ZnO, p-CuO/n-ZnO, and p-NiO/n-TiO2. Structural characterization of these composite nanostructures based pn-junctions was performed by different complementary tools and the results indicated that reasonable device quality crystals have been achieved. His act was also confirmed by the rectifying electrical behavior observed from these junctions. Further, the different composite nanostructures based junctions were used to demonstrate UV detectors and visible light emitting diodes (LEDs) operating with acceptable performance.
