ZnO Nanostructures and Thin Layers for Device Applications

Abstract

An overview of our nanostructures and thin layers fabrication technologies including MOCVD, vapour phase transport, MBE, chemical growth, electrodeposition is presented. The developed technologies provide control on the nanopillar characteristics, and still leaving the self-organisation mechanism untouched. Also fabrication of complicated heterostructures like quantum wells both as epitaxial layers or embedded into nanopillars was demonstrated. First results of the device applications of ZnO nanostructures as well as implementation of alternative ZnO nanostructures like nanopowders are discussed.
