AbstractFlowerlike ZnO nanoneedle arrays have been synthesized on Si (100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition techniques. The tips of the nanoneedles are ˜ 20- 50 nm in diameter and their roots are as thick as ˜ 50- 100 nm. The nanoneedle arrays grow preferentially along the [0001] direction. Raman spectroscopy shows three first order optical normal modes which confirm wurtzite structure of ZnO nanoneedles. In the low frequency zone, additive modes (92, 122, 163, and 275 cm-1) are observed and can be attributed to zone boundary phonons. ZnO nanoneedle arrays exhibit a strong UV luminescence emission, and two strong peaks at 3.258 eV and 3.288 eV are observed.

Crystalline disorder in thin films plays an important role in determining their properties. Disorder in the crystal structure of MoS2 films prepared by magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser deposition was evaluated with the use of Raman spectroscopy. The peak positions and bandwidths of the first-order Raman bands, in the region 100 to 500 cm−1, were used as a measure of crystalline order. In addition, a low-frequency feature was observed at 223 cm−1 that is not part of the normal first-order spectrum of a fully crystalline specimen. Data presented here demonstrate that this band is characteristic of crystalline disorder, and its intensity depends on the annealing history of the film. This behavior seems to be analogous to the disorder found in graphite thin films.
