title: Aerosol assisted fabrication of two dimensional ZnO island arrays and honeycomb patterns with identical lattice structures.
abstract: Two dimensional island arrays and honeycomb patterns consisting of ZnO nanocrystal clusters were fabricated on predefined TiO(2) seed patterns prepared by vacuum free, aerosol assisted wet-chemical synthesis. The TiO(2) seed patterns were prepared by applying an aerosol of a water soluble titanium complex on hexagonally close-packed polystyrene bead arrays for different lengths of time. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that a dot array grows into a honeycomb shape as increasing amounts of the precursor were deposited. ZnO nucleation on substrates with a dot array and honeycomb patterns resulted in the formation of two discrete patterns with contrasting fill fractions of the materials.
