Abstract

Bistable surface: The reversible phase transition between wurtzite (WZ) and body-centered-tetragonal (BCT) lattice was activated in ZnO(101̄0) surfaces and directly imaged at atomic scale by using aberration-corrected electron microscopy (see picture). A nucleation-growth mechanism for the surface reconstruction is further proposed based on observations and calculations of the WZ-BCT domain boundary.
