Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a fascinating wide band gap semiconductor material with many
properties that make it widely studied in the material science, physics, chemistry …

This review attempts to compile the physics and chemistry of defects in zinc oxide (ZnO), at
both, the fundamental and application levels. The defects, either inherent ones or introduced …

The desire for develo** ultraviolet optoelectronic devices has prompted extensive studies
toward wide-bandgap semiconductor ZnO and its related alloys. Bandgap engineering as …

In the past ten years we have witnessed a revival of, and subsequent rapid expansion in, the
research on zinc oxide (ZnO) as a semiconductor. Being initially considered as a substrate …

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 …

We describe the structural and optical properties of II–VI oxide alloys, Mg x Zn 1− x O and Cd
y Zn 1− y O, grown by pulsed-laser deposition. Single-phase alloyed films of (Mg, Zn) O and …

With regards to develo** miniaturized coherent light sources, the temperature‐insensitivity
in gain spectrum and threshold is highly desirable. Quantum dots (QDs) are predicted to …

High-quality Zn 1− x Mg x O (0.00⩽ x⩽ 0.49) thin films were epitaxially grown at 500–650° C
on Al 2 O 3 (00⋅ 1) substrates using metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. By increasing the …

After summing up the main physical properties of ZnO and its subsequent applications the
aim of this article is to review the growth of ZnO epitaxial films by PLD, MBE, MOCVD and …

ZnO is a wide band gap semiconductor whose potential device applications include UV
lasers, 1, 2 transparent conducting films for solar cells3 and phosphors. 4 In addition to their …
