Surface- and Strain-Mediated Reversible Phase Transformation in Quantum-Confined ZnO Nanowires

Achieving flexible large-scale reactivity tuning by controlling the phase, thickness and support of two-dimensional ZnO

“…It is worth noting that all three phases have been observed experimentally. [28][29][30][31] As different phases usually have distinct reactivity, engineering these phases may lead to notable tuning of surface reactivity of ZnO. To verify this hypothesis, below we study the hydrogen adsorption on those phases.…”

Hybrid quadrupole plasmon induced spectrally pure ultraviolet emission from a single AgNPs@ZnO:Ga microwire based heterojunction diode

“…Furthermore, due to surface defects and low carrier injection efficiency, nano/microstructures exhibit broadband emissions and inherently low external efficiency, which severely reduce their ability to meet scientic and commercial demands. [14][15][16] When coupled with light at specic photon energies, collective oscillations of conduction electrons in metallic nanostructures can be excited. The spectral properties of these excitations, called plasmons, have attracted widespread scientic and technological interest.…”

Morphology-Dependent Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism in Undoped ZnO Nanostructures

“…Amazingly, Taniguchi et al [45] have reported that organic layers could allow the formation of ZnO nanosheets (~1.5 nm) with RTFM. In addition, Zhao et al [132]. have presented the phase transitions of quantum-confined ZnO NWs by in-site TEM.…”
