Description

Zinc oxide nanorods were deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass and silicon substrates, nickel oxide layer of 400 nm was deposited on the nanorods thereby forming a heterojunction between p-type nickel oxide and n-type zinc oxide thin films. The junction was characterised using x-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of the junction was also investigated with and without ultra violet (UV) illumination.
