摘要

A facile method was used to oxidize p-type Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) nanowires into n-type Zinc Oxide (ZnO) through a 700 degrees C annealing process in air. Single crystal ZnSe nanowires, with a hole concentration of 0.805 x 10(18) cm(-3) and a negative photoconductivity, were oxidized into polycrystalline ZnO nanowires with an electron concentration of 4.88 x 10(18) cm(-3) and a positive photoconductivity. Additionally, both the as-synthesized ZnSe nanowires and the post-oxidized ZnO nanowires presented excellent optoelectronic properties. This method can be used to construct radial p-n junctions or other nano-devices based on a single NW through a regioselective oxidation process.
