RHEED patterns captured after substrate annealing, buffer-layer growth, and film growth, along the [100] ((a), (c), (e)) and [110] ((b), (d), (f)) azimuths, respectively. Panels (i) and (j) are the side views of the atomic model of rock-salt ZnO along [100] and [110] directions, respectively, with the corresponding simulated RHEED patterns shown in panels (g) and (h). Panels (m) and (n) are the side views of the atomic model of zinc-blende ZnO along [100] and [110] directions, respectively, with the corresponding simulated RHEED patterns shown in panels (k) and (l).
