Size-tuned ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs), aligned well vertically and laterally, were synthesized by catalyst-free, metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on GaN-buffered Al2O3 (0001) substrates by adjusting the O/Zn precursor ratio in the reactor. Their electrical transport properties were investigated using field effect transistors based on individual ZnO nanorods. We find that the carrier concentrations and mobilities in the nanorods are not very sensitive to the change of the precursor ratio. This suggests that altering the precursor ratio is a way of fabricating size-tuned ZnO NRAs with quite consistent electrical properties.

The distribution of defects and dislocations in graphene layers has become a very important concern with regard to the electrical and electronic transport properties of device applications. Although several experiments have shown the influence of defects on the electrical properties of graphene, these studies were limited to measuring microscopic areas because of their long measurement times. Here, we successfully imaged various local defects in a large area of chemical vapor deposition graphene within a reasonable amount of time by using lock-in thermography (LIT). The differences in electrical resistance caused by the micrometer-scale defects, such as cracks and wrinkles, and atomic-scale domain boundaries were apparent as nonuniform Joule heating on polycrystalline and epitaxially grown graphene. The present results indicate that LIT can serve as a fast and effective method of evaluating the quality and uniformity of large graphene films for device applications.

Graphene resistivity decreases as the surface roughness of the copper foils decreases. Small grain polycrystalline graphene films grown on pre-annealed and electropolished copper exhibit a sheet resistance of 210 Ω □−1.

The electrical transport properties of C70 and C60 fullerene peapods are investigated. We report the fabrications and performances of field-effect transistors (FETs) based on C70 and C60 fullerene peapods. A large percentage of the fullerene peapod-FETs we fabricated exhibit ambipolar characteristics with high Ion/Ioff ratio at room temperature in air. The origin of ambipolar behavior is qualitatively discussed.

ZnO nanorod arrays were synthesized with simple chemical vapor deposition technique with template without using catalyst by controlling the growth time and condensation growth. The surface morphology of nanostructure were characterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), we found that the ZnO nanorod arrays were uniformly covered on substrate. The extremely strong ZnO (0002) peaks were observed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), shown the preferred (0001) orientation and high crystalline quality of the ZnO nanostructures. The optical properties were investigated by using photoluminescence (PL). These results showed the contribution of green-yellow emission attributed to the strong inner reflection and scattering. Our results indicating that the uniform ZnO nanorods arrays can be synthesized by using a simplified method. Furthermore, they will be implemented as application for nanodevice fabrication or for gas sensors and solar cells.
