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 …

Metal oxides are virtually everywhere–only gold has the property not to form an oxide on its
surface when exposed to the ambient. As a result, understanding the physics and chemistry …

An extensive theoretical investigation of the nonpolar (101 0) and (112 0) surfaces as well
as the polar zinc-terminated (0001)-Zn and oxygen-terminated (0001)-O surfaces of ZnO is …

Gas sensor devices have traditionally comprised thin films of metal oxides, with tin oxide,
zinc oxide and indium oxide being some of the most common materials employed. With the …

We report the first angle-resolved photoemission spectra (ARPES) of polar and nonpolar
surfaces of an ionic wurtzite-type compound semiconductor. We present experimental …

We report the results of a detailed theoretical investigation of electronic properties of
unrelaxed and relaxed ZnO surfaces. The surface electronic structure is evaluated using the …

Dynamical calculations of the intensities of normally-incident low-energy electrons diffracted
from ZnO (10 1 0), performed using an" exact" matrix-inversion method, are compared both …

We report ab initio calculations of the surface electronic structure of the hexagonal wurtzite
semiconductors ZnO and CdS. The calculations are carried out self-consistently in the local …

In this article, we indicate the status of our current understanding of semiconductor surface
geometries. We review the various experimental and theoretical structure determination …

The structural and electronic properties of ZnO (101̅0) and (112̅0) surfaces were
investigated by means of density functional theory applied to periodic calculations at B3LYP …
