ZnO Nanowire LEDs Have UV Output

Daniel S. Burgess

In a continuation of their work with LEDs based on ZnO nanostructures embedded in polymer, scientists at Portland State University in Oregon have obtained emission centered at 393 nm from the devices. Such emitters may enable the development of large-area lighting on flexible substrates. Rolf Könenkamp, a physics professor at the university and leader of the research team, said that the ZnO nanowires are unique in that they can be produced at temperatures as low as 85 °C. “These temperatures and the fabrication process itself are compatible with glass and even with flexible polymer...Read full article

    polymer
    Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating structural units called monomers. These monomers are chemically bonded together to form long chains or networks, creating a macromolecular structure. The process of linking monomers together is known as polymerization. Polymers can be classified into several categories based on their structure, properties, and mode of synthesis. Some common types of polymers include: Synthetic polymers: These are human-made polymers produced through...
