Reversed crystal growth of ZnO microdisks

Hexagonal ZnO microdisks are grown and then selectively dissolved to form microstadiums. Analysis of the growth and dissolution of the microdisks revealed that they follow a reversed crystal growth mechanism, i.e. aggregation of precursors followed by surface crystallization and extension of crystal...

Description
Summary:Hexagonal ZnO microdisks are grown and then selectively dissolved to form microstadiums. Analysis of the growth and dissolution of the microdisks revealed that they follow a reversed crystal growth mechanism, i.e. aggregation of precursors followed by surface crystallization and extension of crystallization from the surface to the core.
