Abstract
Under ambient conditions, ZnO crystallizes in a hexagonal wurtzite structure, but undergoes a phase transformation into a rocksalt structure with increasing hydrostatic pressure. However, in the present study, I have successfully demonstrated that intense beam irradiation of a wurtzite ZnO specimen in a transmission electron microscope produces nanoparticles of rocksalt ZnO as well as wurtzite ZnO, suggesting that the application of pressures is not a necessary condition for the formation of rocksalt ZnO.
