Abstract

In this study, pure and Mn-doped ZnO nanorods were synthesized by microwave method. The obtained nanorods were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The effect of different concentrations of cobalt on optical properties of ZnO nanorods was investigated. Photoluminescence observations showed that pure ZnO nanorods had green emission and the luminescence peak shifted to range of yellow color wavelengths and the intensity of luminescence increased, when Mn doped in ZnO structure.
