X-ray absorption fine structure of ZnO thin film on Si and sapphire grown by MOCVD

X-ray absorption fine structure has been used to study the electronic structure, and bond length of ZnO thin films grown on sapphire and Si substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) of O and Zn K-edge were shown, and a detailed analysis of extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) of Zn K-edge indicates that difference substrates results in the contraction of Zn-O bond length.
