Abstract

Zinc oxide, an important II–IV semiconductor with direct band gap (3.2 eV [1]) and large exciton binding energy (60 meV [1]), has become one of the most attractive materials in research due to its wide application ranging from optoelectronic [2], (photo)catalysis [3] and devices for optic [4] or biology [5] together with its peculiar properties of good stability, bio-compatibility and non-toxicity. The control over the size and morphology of nanometer micrometer-sized ZnO crystals represents a great challenge for the design of novel functional devices. Doping with selective elements (generally transition metal ions), also offers an effective method to adjust the electrical, magnetic and optical properties of zinc oxide.
