ABSTRACT
Co-synthesis
of In2O3 and ZnO nanowires (NWs) were grown on silicon
and alumina substrates using vapour transport deposition method. Their
morphological structures showed that the NWs were rather aligned on silicon
substrate and randomly oriented on alumina substrate. The formation of NWs on
silicon substrate was found to be dominated by the growth of ZnO NWs while that
on alumina substrate was dominated by the growth of In2O3 NWs. The In2O3 and ZnO NWs were highly crystalline and have wurtzite structure.

ABSTRAK
Sintesis
bersama bagi nanowayar In2O3 dan ZnO telah ditumbuhkan ke
atas substrat silikon dan alumina menggunakan kaedah pemendapan wap. Struktur
morfologi menunjukkan bahawa nanowayar tumbuh dengan agak teratur di atas substrat
silikon manakala secara rawak pada substrat alumina. Penumbuhan nanowayar di
atas substrat silicon didominasi oleh nanowayar ZnO, manakala di atas substrat
alumina didominasi oleh nanowayar In2O3. Nanowayar In2O3 dan ZnO mempunyai kualiti kristal yang agak tinggi dan berstruktur wursit.
