Evolution of Zinc Oxide Nanostructures from Non-Equilibrium Deposition Conditions

Abstract

This project focuses on to quantitatively understand the time-dependent evolution of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanostructures driven by non-equilibrium deposition conditions, and thereby establish an experimentally grounded foundation for designing nanostructures and/or functionalities via kinetic control. Through vapor-solid deposition under dynamically controlled conditions, we observed three unique 1D and 2D nanocrystal growth behavior, which revealed a series of unique growth kinetics at the nanoscale under conditions far away from equilibrium.
