Band structure of ZnO by X-Ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) (CAT#: STEM-ST-0284-WXH)

Introduction

Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. It is a white powder that is insoluble in water. ZnO is used as an additive in numerous materials and products including cosmetics, food supplements, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, paints, sunscreens, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, semi conductors, and first-aid tapes. Although it occurs naturally as the mineral zincite, most zinc oxide is produced synthetically.
The wide-band gap semiconductor zinc oxide ZnO is a material with much potential in future electronic devices.
