Growth of ZnO thin films—experiment and theory
Abstract
Many recent studies of ZnO thin film growth have highlighted a propensity for forming c-axis aligned material, with the crystal morphology dominated by the polar {0001} surface. This is illustrated here for ZnO thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition methods, and put to advantage by using such films as templates for aligned growth of ZnO nanorods. Complementary to such experiments, we report results of periodic ab initio density functional theory calculations on thin films of ZnO which terminate with the (0001), (000), (100) and (110) surfaces. Thin (<18 layer) films which terminate with the polar (0001) and (000) surfaces are found to be higher in energy than corresponding films in which these polar surfaces flatten out forming a new ‘graphitic’-like structure in which the Zn and O atoms are coplanar and the dipole is removed. For thinner (<10 layer) slab sizes this coplanar surface is found to be lower in energy than the non-polar (100) and (110) surfaces also. The transition between the lowest energy geometries as the ZnO film thickness increases is investigated, and possible consequences for the growth mechanism discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
