“…Zinc oxide is a transparent n-type semiconductor with very interesting optical and electrical properties such as a direct bandgap around 3.3 eV, a large exciton binding energy (60 meV), a good electron conductivity, piezoelectricity and biocompatibility. It has found numerous applications such as piezoelectric transducers, [1][2][3] field effect transistors, [2][3][4] gas sensors, 5 light-emitting diodes, 6 optical waveguide, 7 in solar cells 8,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] etc.…”
