Control of ZnO Crystal Morphology through Face Specific Adsorptionyoucard
Many of the potential applications of ZnO are dependent upon either its overall shape (e.g. piezoelectric devices or LEDs), or the relative ratio of the different ZnO faces (e.g. catalysis). These applications have stimulated renewed interest in controlling the aspect ratio of ZnO crystals during their growth. One promising way to control the aspect ratio of ZnO crystals during hydrothermal growth is via the introduction of small organic molecules. Whilst there have been many studies showing that particular molecules affect ZnO crystal shape, few studies explain exactly how particular molecules influence growth. The overriding goal of the work contained in this thesis is to enhance understanding of how small organic molecules affect ZnO growth surfaces.

Statement
Kurt R. Jacobson – Artist
Statement & Information
I started drawing as a small
child and have had a burning
passion for creating art all
my life. It is a passion that
has to come out, and when I
paint, seeing the painting
take life is what drives me.
Being born and raised in
Alaska has given me a love
for the outdoors that I try to
express in my artwork. I paint
in Oils and Acrylics, and love
Pen & Ink also. My paintings
are of Alaska, its Scenery,
Wildlife, People and Culture.
I am a realist painter with a
touch of impressionism. I
paint in Acrylics when I want
fine detailed paintings. I use
oils for a more
impressionistic painting. I
paint on Canvas or Gessoed
Hardboard.
Working very closely with
nature “en plein air” (on
location), has led to a
greater appreciation to the
natural world around us.
Light is the motivating factor;
without it there would be
nothing. To capture the light
and how it makes the colors
vibrate and tell a story is my
goal when I paint. Working
on location forces me to be
in touch with the moment,
allowing me time only to work
fast and loose, capturing the
emotions and light of the
moment. When I create a
larger more detailed major
work in my studio, I use the
plein air paintings as
reference, so I can match the
emotions evoked at the time I
painted them. All paintings
are a “moment in time”; I
strive to make my paintings
make the viewer stop and
linger in that moment and its
