High-Pressure PLD of ZnO-Based Nanostructures

First successful ZnO device demonstrations as for example stable homo-and heteroepitaxial pn-junctions and LED structures, thin film scintillators, and quantum well structures with optical confinement, and oxide-based Bragg reflectors, and high-quality Schottky contacts are based on PLD grown thin films. Several techniques as for example the PLD in UHV conditions (laser MBE), and gradient and combinatorial PLD, and high-pressure PLD for nano-heterostructures show the innovative potential of the advanced growth technique PLD.
