In ambient atmospheres, aluminum becomes rapidly coated with a compact 2–3 nm thick
oxide layer. This native oxide layer prevents the metal surface from further oxidation …

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 …

Advances in nanotechnology and nanomaterials have led to the development of
nanostructured membranes. Zinc oxide (ZnO), a multifunctional nanomaterial, has been …

This article provides a comprehensive review of the current research activities that focus on
the ZnO nanostructure materials and their physical property characterizations. It begins with …

The synthesis of semiconductor nanowires has been studied intensively worldwide for a
wide spectrum of materials. Such low‐dimensional nanostructures are not only interesting …

To investigate the effect of seed layer on the growth of ZnO nanorods during hydrothermal
synthesis, different types of sputter-deposited ZnO films were used. The changes in growth …

A simple method of synthesizing nanomaterials and the ability to control the size and
position of them are crucial for fabricating nanodevices. In this work, we developed a novel …

Large-scale arrays of nanostructures on substrates, such as semiconductor or metal nano-
particle arrays, have attracted considerable interest due to their unique physical properties …

Abstract One-dimensional (1D) zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures have been extensively and
intensively studied for several decades not only for their extraordinary chemical and physical …

We focus on the preparation of hybrid polymer/zinc oxide (ZnO) solar cells, in which the
metal oxide consists of ZnO columnar structures grown perpendicularly on a flat, dense …
