Abstract

Atomic-resolution Z-contrast images demonstrate unambiguously that the annealed, metalorganic chemical vapor deposition derived transparent In2O3-ZnO films have a polytypoid microstructure, consisting of ZnO slabs of variable width separated by single In-O octahedral layers. These In-O layers induce a polarity inversion in the two adjacent ZnO layers, which is reversed again by a mirror domain boundary inside each ZnO slab.
