The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part
because of its large exciton binding energy (60 meV) which could lead to lasing action …

During the last years, ZnO thin films have been studied extensively due to their potential
applications in eg piezoelectric and optoelectronic devices or photovoltaic cells. Ordered c …

Patterned nanowire networks of photoluminescent highly crystalline ZnO nanowires (see
Figure) have been produced via the vapor–liquid–solid mechanism using gold as catalyst …

ZnO single crystal thin films were grown on c-plane sapphire using oxygen microwave
plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Atomically flat oxygen-terminated substrate …

ZnO nanowires were mass produced using a physical vapor deposition approach. The ZnO
nanowire monocrystallites have an average diameter around 60 nm and length up to a few …

Wide band gap semiconductor nanostructures with near-cylindrical geometry and large
