Аннотация:ZnO nanorods co-doped with Fe, Li (ZnO:Fe,Li) with a diameter of 50–100 nm and a length of 0.5–5 μm were obtained by thermal growth from salt mixtures. The HAADF-STEM, EDX and AAS analysis showed that the nanorods grow in the [001] direction as single crystals with a wurtzite structure and contain 2.05 % Fe and 1.95 % Li. A detailed study of ZnO:Fe,Li nanorods using X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy revealed the incorporation of Fe and Li atoms into the nanocrystal lattice, which can lead to ferroelectric behavior of ZnO multiferroic structures, usually fabricated by co-doping with transition metals and lithium.
