24. For this reason, the photoresponse is slow in vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere and fast if oxygen is available. The measurements we report here were all made under ambient atmospheric conditions.

26. At both metal-semiconductor interfaces, electrons leave from the semiconductor into the metal, building up an inner potential, which represents a barrier for further current flow once equilibrium between electron diffusion into the metal and the drift of electrons due to the inner field has been reached.

35. It is also possible that because of the high disorientation in sample 1 the number of working ZnO nanorod-electrode junctions may not be much higher than for the case of sample 2.
