Effects of substrate annealing on the gold-catalyzed growth of ZnO nanostructures

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The effects of thermal substrate pretreatment on the growth of Au-catalyzed ZnO nanostructures by pulsed laser deposition are investigated. C-plane sapphire substrates are annealed <it>prior </it>to deposition of a thin Au layer. Subsequent ZnO growth...
