Zinc Oxide Bulk, Thin Films and Nanostructures

With an in-depth exploration of the following topics, this book covers the broad uses of zinc oxide within the fields of materials science and engineering:

- Recent advances in bulk, thin film and nanowire growth of ZnO (including MBE, MOCVD and PLD),

- The characterization of the resulting material (including the related ternary systems ZgMgO and ZnCdO),

- Improvements in device processing modules (including ion implantation for doping and isolation, Ohmic and Schottky contacts, wet and dry etching),

- The role of impurities and defects on materials properties

- Applications of ZnO in UV light emitters/detectors, gas, biological and chemical-sensing, transparent electronics, spintronics and thin film
