Abstract
A model of oriented growth of (0001) ZnO whiskers on sapphire substrates via the vapor–crystal mechanism using the catalytic properties of gold islands is proposed. The morphological transition from the primary pyramidal ZnO structures to hexagonal ZnO whiskers is described in terms of the minimization of the free energy density of three-dimensional heteroepitaxial islands.
