Material comprising a layer of self-assembled, one-dimensional zno microcrystals

Abstract

The present invention relates to a multilayer material, comprising a solid substrate coated at least partially with a textured α-quartz buffer layer, the crystallographic direction of the α-quartz being parallel to the crystallographic direction of the silicon; and on said α-quartz buffer layer, a layer of one-dimensional epitaxial ZnO microcrystals (or epitaxial ZnO microwires), said microcrystals being self-assembled. The present invention also relates to a method for producing such a multilayer material, as well as to the industrial use thereof in various technical fields.
