Studies and development of Nano-ZnO

With many special properties, nanostructure ZnO has become a focused research work recently and being applied widely. Many new interesting phenomena of quantum spacial confinement effects such as Anderson Localization of carriers, photons, phonons, have been discovered and the photoelectric properties of nanosize ZnO change obviously after treatment under different conditions, especially capped with other molecules or in well-confined media materials. Self-organized growth of ZnO brings up a lot of exciting structures and novel properties and provides some good ideas for designation and application of ZnO as semiconductor materials and devices. In this paper, the studies and development of nanostructure ZnO in current years were summarized.
