ZnO Microrods: Large-Scale Horizontally Aligned ZnO Microrod Arrays with Controlled Orientation, Periodic Distribution as Building Blocks for Chip-in Piezo-Phototronic LEDs (Small 4/2015)

Large-scale horizontally aligned ZnO microrod arrays with controlled orientation and periodic distribution are fabricated by Z. Guo and co-workers via combing technology. On page 438, the microrod arrays with uniform orientation and periodic distribution are realized based on the conventional bottom-up method. The proposed combing method can be applied to transform the aligned distribution from vertical to horizonal orientation for micro- or nanostructures with any designed patterns and materials for building chips in devices.
