A two-step route is presented to dope Ga into ZnO nanowires and also fabricate heterostructures of Ga-doped ZnO nanowires on ZnO. The content of Ga in ZnO nanowires is about 7 at. % from energy-dispersive x-ray analysis. The single crystal Ga doped ZnO nanowires with the diameter of 40 nm and the length of 300-500 nm are well aligned on the ZnO bulk. The growth direction is along [001]. Raman scattering analysis shows that the doping of Ga into ZnO nanowires depresses Raman E{sub 1L} mode of ZnO, manifesting that Ga sites in ZnO are Zn sites (Ga{sub Zn}). The formation mechanism of Zn{sub 1-x}Ga{sub x}O nanowires/ZnO heterostructures is proposed.
