摘要
Epitaxial ZnO thin films were grown on single crystalline Au microplates from an aqueous solution at 90 degrees C. The composite structures were approximately 100 pm wide. The epitaxial ZnO films were smooth, continuous, and several micrometers thick. We examined the epitaxial relationship between the ZnO and Au through scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and electron diffraction and demonstrated control over the resulting film morphology through the kinetics of growth. An epitaxial relationship of ZnO[1 (1) over bar 00](0002)parallel to Au[2 (11) over bar (111) was dominant in the structures.
