In the present work, Sb and Cu in varying concentrations were doped (in situ) into the ZnO and ZnS nanostructures. The synthesis of the nanostructures was achieved through a vapor phase transport method at controlled temperatures and gas flow rates. The effects of deposition temperature on morphology and doping concentration were studied. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze morphologies and grain size. The X-ray diffraction patterns were utilized to indicate diffraction peak shifts due to doping. Optical properties were investigated by optical absorption spectra and band gap analysis. Further analysis of optical behavior of doped structures using low-temperature photoluminescence will follow in a later study.
