Zinc oxide nanomaterials were grown on quartz through noncatalytic horizontal vapor phase crystal growth from 600°C to 1200°C. The growth time was also varied between two to eight hours in two-hour increments while the ramp time was synchronized from 20 to 80 minutes. Scanning electron microscopy re...
