摘要
Here we report the growth of epitaxial ZnO-Pt-ZnO trilayer structures on sapphire (0001) substrate by using pulsed laser deposition technique. These structures were characterized using X-ray diffraction, conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, STEM (scanning Transmission Electron microscopy-Atomic number) Z-contrast, optical transmittance and electrical resistivity measurements. X-ray diffraction and TEM experiments revealed the epitaxial nature of these structures, the orientation relationship being: < 111 > (pt)parallel to < 0001 >(ZnO)parallel to < 0001 > < 0001 >(sapphire) (out of plane) and < 110 >(pt)parallel to < 2110 >(ZnO)parallel to < 0110 >(sapphire) (in Plane) for the trilayer structure. Electrical and optical measurements showed that these heterostructures exhibit quite good electrical conductivity and at the same time possess moderate optical transmittance. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
