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 …

Brillouin spectroscopy is an optical technique that allows one to determine the directional
dependence of acoustic velocities in minerals and materials subject to a wide range of …

Semiconductor electronics is commonplace in every household. Semiconductor devices
have enabled economically reasonable fiber-based optical communication, optical storage …

Most books on ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) focus either on its theoretical
background or on advanced applications. Furthermore, information on the most current …

We demonstrate the epitaxial coating of GaN NWs with an epitaxial ZnO shell by atomic
layer deposition at 300° C. Scanning transmission electron microscopy proves a sharp and …

We report first-principles density functional calculations of the polarizations, piezoelectric
stress constants, and elastic constants for the II-VI oxides MgO, ZnO, and CdO in the wurtzite …

Ab initio DFT calculations have been performed to investigate a complete set of structural,
electronic, elastic, piezoelectric, thermodynamic and thermoelectric properties of lead-free …

This paper provides an overview of the principal dynamical methods for measuring the
elastic properties of the near-surface regions of solids and thin supported solid films. It …

Electrical investigations of zinc oxide date back to 1912, when Somerville measured the
resistivity of cylindrical ZnO rods up to temperatures of 1,200◦ C [1]. The reported data at the …

Elastic constants and sound velocities calculated from first principles as function of pressure
are presented for wurtzite SiC, GaN, InN, ZnO, and CdSe. The C 11 and C 33 elastic …
