Zinc Oxide Bulk, Thin Films and Nanostructures : Processing, Properties, and Applications

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 such as: 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; and applications of ZnO in UV light emitters/detectors, gas, biological and chemical-sensing, transparent electronics, spintronics and thin film.
