Orientation relationships in multilayer ZnO/In2O3 structures

Mutilayer ZnO/In2O3 structures prepared by annealing ZnxInS3+x, (x = 1, 5) single crystals have been studied by x-ray diffraction and optical microscopy. The results indicate limited texturing of the endotaxial oxide layers. The orientation relationships between the ZnO and In2O3 crystallites in neighboring layers are shown to be analogous to those between similar unit cells of single-crystal layers and substrates in epitaxial systems.
