Abstract
The effect of zinc on the growth mechanism of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures is investigated by annealing zinc-rich sputtered ZnO thin films and ZnO single crystals that are partially coated with metallic zinc (Zn). Evidence from scanning electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as well as Raman and photoluminescence measurements suggests that excess Zn may induce the growth of ZnO nanostructures. This mechanism provides the possibility of large area selective growth.
