Zinc nanoplates of two kinds of basal surfaces were grown using a non-catalytic and template-free thermal evaporation. High resolution tunneling electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction analyses reveal that the nanoplates are connected single crystals with {0001} and {11-20} as their basal planes. The intrinsic growth anisotropy of zinc was verified as the driving force leading to the formation of the nanoplates to minimize the total surface energy. The growth of zinc nanoplates follows the mechanism similar to vapor-solid mechanism.
Keywords:Zinc Nanoplates; Thermal evaporation; Anisotropic growth
