 This paper examined the properties of zinc oxide nanorods and their potential use in white light emitting diodes. It found that the presence of deep-level centers in the nanorods caused them to emit visible light when connected to a P-type material such as silicon carbide or gallium nitride. The authors concluded that this combination could be used to create efficient white light emitting diodes for large area applications.
