Investigations on the growth and optical properties of one dimensional ZnO nanostructures grown by radio frequency magnetron sputter deposition

- ZnO nanostructures have been grown by rf magnetron sputter deposition.
- A morphologically superior and coalescence free ZnO nanowires have been realized.
- Argon pressure significantly alters the morphology of ZnO nanostructures.
- ZnO nanostructures exhibit hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure.
- A dominant D0X emission indicates the high optical quality of the nanostructures.
