Exploiting Zinc Oxide Re-emission to Fabricate Periodic Arrays

Abstract: The synthesis of hexagonal ring-shaped structures of zinc oxide using nanosphere lithography and metal/metal oxide sputtering is demonstrated. This synthesis exploits the surface re-emission of zinc oxide to deposit material in regions lying out of the line-of-sight of the sputtering source. These rings can nucleate the hydrothermal growth of zinc oxide crystals. Control over the growth could be exercised by varying growth solution concentration or temperature or by applying an external potential.

“…When the etching time is 0 s, only the nanocaps array is observed. Under this condition, the sizes of unetched PS colloid spheres are large enough, 21 so the nanotriangle sites are too small to be distinguished in Figure 2b. As the etching time increases to 60 s, some nanotriangles with average size of a = 65 ± 5 nm are observed.…”

“…Au-ZnO or Au-Al 2 O 3 -Au nanoparticle sandwiches have been prepared by this means. [52][53] In the case of templates made of colloidally crystallized spheres, if the nanoparticles are to be released the deposition should proceed at an acute angle, so that the equatorial girths of the semi-shells do not fuse. 51 The use of porous alumina templates to prepare hybrid nanoparticles has also been explored.…”

“…This is an ideal strategy to achieve large-area thin films with high qualities precisely controllable on each local site. Such a strategy applies not only to hybrid halide perovskites [27] but also to any other organic/inorganic semiconductors [28,29] or even biomolecules [30] with strong aggregation performance. The corresponding designs also simultaneously facilitate new functions, including micro-/nano-cavity effects, local-field confinement, output coupling control, optical waveguides, and interface structural optimization or metasurface incorporation [31].…”
