Abstract

We report on the effects of doping on the growth of ZnO nanostructures. We find that the incorporation of dopants, such as Si, Li, and Na, usually lead to reduced quality of ZnO nanostructures. Although doping with Li and Na results in the formation of facets on ZnO nanostructures, doping of Si often reduces dramatically the quantity of ZnO nanostructures. The formation of facets on ZnO nanostructures is found to significantly affects the cathodoluminescence emissions of the nanostructures.
