This review summarizes the work principles of pulse laser deposition (PLD) apparatus,
physical processes like ablation, and plasma plume formation accompanying the deposition …

Many recent studies of ZnO thin film growth have highlighted a propensity for forming c-axis
aligned material, with the crystal morphology dominated by the polar {0001} surface. This is …

Arrays of well-aligned ZnO nanorods were synthesized on a Si substrate at 600° C by 193
nm pulsed laser ablation of a ZnO target in low pressures of oxygen. Electron microscopy …

Piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) harvest various types of mechanical energy and
exhibit remarkable potential for powering portable devices and wearable electronic systems …

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of transparent conducting oxide (TCO) materials whose thin films
attract much interest because of typical properties such as high chemical and mechanical …

Highly conductive and transparent in the visible range Al-doped ZnO (ZnO: Al) and undoped
ZnO films have been deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. Reflection high-energy electron …

The pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique has been applied for the epitaxial growth of
ZnO for more than two decades. The emergence of high-temperature stability of the excitonic …

Nanocrystalline thin films of Al doped ZnO (Al: 0–5at%) with low electrical resistivity and high
optical transparency have been grown by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction patterns …

ZnO thin films were grown on silicon (100) by pulsed laser deposition. Highly textured
crystalline ZnO thin films can be grown at 600° C. The films were then annealed at 600° C in …

The structure of undoped, Al-doped ZnO (AZO) and Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films grown
on sapphire and NaCl substrates by 193 nm pulsed laser ablation of a ZnO target in a low …
