Vertical aligned ZnO nanorod (diameter = 50 nm) arrays on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates have been grown using a new two-step soft chemical procedure. The resulting current voltage (I V) characteristics of the ZnO nanorods exhibited a clear rectifying behaviour. This rectifying behaviour was attributed to the formation of a Schottky contact between the Au coated atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip and ZnO nanorod (nano-M/SC) which was dominated by the surface states in ZnO itself. Photo-assisted conductive AFM (PC-AFM) was used to demonstrate how the I V characteristics are influenced by the surface states. Our I V results also showed that the nano-M/SCs had a good photo-electric switching effect at reverse bias.
