The research on ZnO has a long history but experiences an extremely vivid revival during
the last 10 years. We critically discuss in this didactical review old and new results …

The quest for realizing novel fundamental physical effects and practical applications in
ambient conditions has led to tremendous interest in microcavity exciton polaritons working …

This first systematic, authoritative and thorough treatment in one comprehensive volume
presents the fundamentals and technologies of the topic, elucidating all aspects of ZnO …

Microcavities are semiconductor, metal, or dielectric structures providing optical confinement
in one, two or three dimensions. At the end of the 20th century, microcavities have attracted …

The (1× 1) terminated (0001)-Zn surface of wurtzite ZnO was investigated with scanning
tunneling microscopy. The surface is characterized by the presence of nanosized islands …

The geometric and electronic structure of clean (0001),(0 0 0 1 ̄),(1 1 2 ̄ 0), and (1 0 1 ̄ 0)
faces of ZnO single crystals have been studied with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) …

The pathway towards the realization of optical solid-state lasers was gradual and slow. After
Einstein's paper on absorption and stimulated emission of light in 1917 it took until 1960 for …

Electrically pumped ZnO quantum well diode lasers are reported. Sb-doped p-type ZnO/Ga-
doped n-type ZnO with an MgZnO/ZnO/MgZnO quantum well embedded in the junction was …

We report exciton-polariton condensation in a new family of fully hybrid ZnO-based
microcavity demonstrating the best-quality ZnO material available (a bulk substrate), a large …

ZnO single crystals, epilayers, and nanostructures often exhibit a variety of narrow emission
lines in the spectral range between 3.33 and 3.35 eV which are commonly attributed to …
