| Summary: | Zinc oxide is a popular material used in piezoelectric sensors. To improve the
piezoelectric coefficient of zinc oxide nanorods, rare earth doped zinc oxide nanorod arrays were synthesised via hydrothermal synthesis. The rare earth doped zinc oxide nanorod arrays were characterised using XRD, SEM and PFM. Each rare earth dopant showed different extent of improvement for the piezoelectric coefficient of zinc oxide nanorods. Neodymium showed the highest improvement while yttrium showed the lowest improvement. |
