Deposition and properties of ZnO thin films on GaP nanowires

We have studied the properties of the prepared ZnO thin films on GaP nanowires deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering at different target-substrate geometry and deposition conditions. ZnO/GaP-NW core-shell structures were created on MOCVD-GaP NWs grown on Zn-doped GaP(111)B substrates. Some important physical properties of the ZnO films and core-shell GaP/ZnO heterojunctions were investigated.
