Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Several hundred thousands of tons of ZnO are used by per year, e.g. as an additive to concrete or to rubber. In the field of optoelectronics, ZnO holds promises as a material for a blue/UV optoelectronics, alternatively to GaN, as a cheap, transparent, conducting oxide, as a material for electronic circuits, which are transparent in the visible or for semiconductor spintronics. The main problem is presently, however, a high, reproducible and stable p‐doping. We review in this contribution partly critically the material growth, fundamental properties of ZnO and of ZnO‐based nanostructures, doping as well as present and future applications, with emphasis on the electronic and optical properties including stimulated emission.
