The polar nature of the wurtzite crystalline structure of GaN and ZnO results in the existence
of a spontaneous electric polarization within these materials and their associated alloys (Ga …

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted significant
attention owing to their unique physical properties, such as strong spin-orbit coupling, giant …

Abstract Cu 2 ZnSn (S, Se) 4 (CZTSSe) is an interesting absorber material for thin film solar
cells. However, one of the key challenges for the kesterite-based solar cells is to improve the …

Heteroepitaxy can involve materials with a misfit of crystal structure. Rotation domains in the
epilayer are a fundamental consequence. We derive a general expression for their …

The formation of rotation domains (RDs) in heteroepitaxy depends fundamentally on the
relation of the crystal symmetries of substrate and epilayer. We assume well‐defined …

Structural, morphological and optical properties of Zn 1− x Li x O thin films grown on Si (100)
substrates by pulsed laser deposition at different Li doping concentrations (x= 0.0, 0.05, 0.07 …

In this work, we study the influence of the different surface terminations of c-plane sapphire
substrates on the synthesis of graphene via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition …

The growth of single-crystalline high-quality zinc oxide (ZnO) layers by a methane (CH4)-
based chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth process on sapphire substrates with an …

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films on Si (111) substrates were deposited by pulsed laser ablation of
ZnO target at different oxygen pressures. A pulsed Nd: YAG laser with wavelength of …

There is a great interest in various branches of the advanced materials industry for the
development of novel methods (and improvements to existing ones) for the deposition of …
