The research on ZnO has a long history but experiences an extremely vivid revival during
the last 10 years. We critically discuss in this didactical review old and new results …

We report ZnO nanowire/nanowall growth using a two-step vapor phase transport method
on a-plane sapphire. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy data establish that …

Vertically well-aligned ZnO nanorods on Si substrates were prepared by a two-step
chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The optical properties of the grown ZnO nanorods …

Thin films of ZnO were grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) in a
vertical injection MOCVD system on various substrates. Kinetics of ZnO growth by MOCVD …

An improved thermal model describing UV high-power nanosecond laser ablation of metal
target is presented. The vaporization effect, the plasma shielding effect, as well as the …

We report growth of ZnO nanowires on various substrates using a vapour phase transport
method and show that the growth mechanism is vapour-liquid-solid growth. We present …

A simple laser-assisted method to transform metallic Zn to a ZnO-based random lasing
medium is reported. The method uses Nd+ 3 laser-induced air breakdown to treat the …

ZnO thin films were grown by cathodic deposition on indium tin oxide (ITO)-covered glass
substrates from a simple aqueous zinc nitrate solution. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments …

We present optically pumped emission data for ZnO, showing that high excitation effects and
stimulated emission/lasing are observed in nanocrystalline ZnO thin films at room …

For the first time Gd 3+-doped (0.4–0.9 mass.%) ZnO: SiO 2 composite films were obtained
using the sol-gel method. Optical properties of the films and their structures were studied by …
