We have investigated the doping transition of one-dimensional (1-D) doped-ZnO nanorods with Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). Vertically aligned (undoped, As-doped, and undoped/As-doped homo-junction) ZnO nanorods were grown on Si (111) substrates without any catalyst by vapor phase transport. Individual ZnO nanorods are removed from the substrates and transferred onto thin Au films grown on Si substrates. The morphology and surface potentials of the nanorods were measured simultaneously by the KPFM. For the homo-junction nanorods with similar to 250 nm in diameter, the KPFM image shows localization of the doping transition along the nanorods. The measured Kelvin signal (surface potential) across the junction induces the work function difference between the undoped and the As-doped region of similar to 85 meV. Also, the work function of As-doped nanorods is similar to 95 meV higher than that of intrinsically undoped nanorods grown in similar conditions. These consistent results indicate that the KPFM is reliable to determine the localization of the doping transition in 1-D structures. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
