ABSTRACTA ZnO single crystal is a native substrate for epitaxial growth of high-quality thin films of ZnO-based Group II-oxides (e.g. ZnO, ZnMgO, ZnCdO) for variety of devices, such as UV and visible-light emitting diodes (LEDs), UV laser diodes and solar-blind UV detectors. Currently, commercially available ZnO single crystal wafers are produced using a hydrothermal technique. The main drawback of hydrothermal growth technique is that the ZnO crystals contain large amounts of alkaline metals, such as Li and K. These alkaline metals are electrically active and hence can be detrimental to device performances. In this paper, results from a recently developed novel growth technique for ZnO single crystal boules are presented. Lithium-free ZnO single crystal boules of up to 1 inch in diameter was demonstrated using the novel technique. Results from crystal growth and materials characterization will be discussed.

The electronic structure and chemisorption properties of the surface of ionic crystals are reviewed, with emphasis on two topics: a critical overview of the experimental and theoretical studies of the adsorption of CO on single crystal and polycrystalline MgO, and a discussion on the most important defect centers at the MgO surface — low-coordinated sites, single oxygen and magnesium vacancies, divacancies, and impurity or substitutional atoms. The two subjects are to some extent interconnected. From the detailed theoretical and experimental study of the adsorption of a nonreactive molecule like CO and from the comparison of experiments done on single crystal or thin films and on powder samples, one can learn about the nature and concentration of the defects at the surface. A more precise characterization of defects requires, however, a careful spectroscopic investigation and a direct comparison with quantum-chemical calculations of both geometric structure and observable properties. The combined theoretical–experimental approach offers new opportunities for a better understanding of the complexity of oxide surfaces.
