Growth and characterization of ZnO films on (001), (100) and (010) LiGaO2 substrates

Slow Lithium Transport in Metal Oxides on the Nanoscale

“…This compound has attracted interest due to the fact that it is a lattice-matching substrate currently being considered for GaN heteroepitaxy, which offers distinct advantages toward growth of high quality GaN [85]. It is also a promising latticematching substrate for heteroepitaxy of ZnO [86] and InN [87].…”

Structural property of m-plane ZnO epitaxial film grown on LaAlO3 (112) substrate

“…Therefore, many attempts have been tried using alternative substrates with smaller anisotropic lattice mismatch to deposit non-polar ZnO. The growth of a-plane ZnO films was achieved on (3 0 2) g-LiAlO 2 , (0 1 0) LiGaO 3 , (0 0 1) SrTiO 3 , and (0 0 1) LaAlO 3 (LAO) substrates [7][8][9][10]. For the deposition of m-plane ZnO, ð1010Þsapphire, (0 0 1) MgO and (1 0 0) g-LiAlO 2 substrates were also successfully demonstrated in previous reports [11][12][13].…”

Surface morphology, structural and optical properties of polar and non-polar ZnO thin films: A comparative study

“…Sun et al also had observed similar phenomenon in ZnO [16]. Consequently, for the non-polar ZnO film, because the c-axis lies in the growth plane, the anisotropic lateral growth rates of the grains along the two orthogonal directions lead to the stripe-like morphologies presented in the SEM images [17]. Nonpolar GaN films also exhibit such anisotropic features [18].…”
