Abstract

Temperature dependent oriented growth of ZnO thin film deposited on NaCl (001) substrates using ion beam sputtering was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thin films showing a texture due to parallel epitaxy with NaCl (001) as deposited at 100 oC, whereas thin films deposited at 400 oC can form a texture. The microstructure and the epitaxial relationship with the NaCl (001) plane were studied by a high-resolution TEM. The possible causes for the orientation changed with temperature are discussed. The optical transparency of the nanofilms grown from room temperature to 400 oC was measured.
