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 …

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in ZnO nanostructures due to their variety
of morphologies and availability of simple and low cost processing. While there are still …

We present a review of current research on the optical properties of ZnO nanostructures. We
provide a brief introduction to different fabrication methods for various ZnO nanostructures …

ZnO is presently experiencing a research boom with more than 2000 ZnO‐related
publications in 2005. This phenomenon is triggered, for example, by hope to use ZnO as a …

Several hundred thousands of tons of ZnO are used by per year, eg as an additive to
concrete or to rubber. In the field of optoelectronics, ZnO holds promises as a material for a …

Recently, a new spotlight has been focused on block copolymers, thoroughly studied for
nearly half a century, because of their potential use in numerous nanotechnologies. This …

The large surface area of ZnO nanorods makes them attractive for gas and chemical
sensing, and the ability to control their nucleation sites makes them candidates for micro …

An effective solvothermal procedure has been developed to synthesize the new three-
dimensional metal− organic framework,[ZnF (AmTAZ)]⊙ solvents, using either 3-amino-1, 2 …

The colloidal-synthesized ZnO nanorods with radius of 1.1±0.1 nm (less than the bulk
exciton Bohr radius, a B∼ 2.34 nm⁠) have been studied by optical methods combined with …

In this paper, all electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbitals
method has been used to investigate the structural and electronic properties of polar (0001) …
