β¦ Synopsis
Abstract
The unique surface textures of zinc oxide (ZnO) films grown by chemical bath deposition were presented. Both the zinc concentration and ethanol content in the chemical bath were found to affect the surface texture of ZnO films significantly. At certain growth conditions, the commonly observed textures derived from ZnO hexagonal rods evolve into unique shellβlike textures. The shellβlike surface textures are entirely different from the common textures in that the shape of grains is not hexagonal but rather round. A possible mechanism for the shellβlike texture growth was discussed.
