The development of epitaxial growth techniques for the fabrication of nanostructures provides advantages for
nanoscale engineering and has yielded many impressive results. ZnO possesses attractive characteristics that include
optical, electric and magnetic properties. This material can be utilized to delineate new phenomena through an
investigation of surface nanostructures and quantum heterostructures. Homoepitaxy in ZnO can generate specific growth
directions in the absence of lattice mismatch at the interface between the film and substrate. Many reports have appeared
in the past year concerning the layer growth of nonpolar ZnO. Nonpolar planes are expected to yield large in-plane
anisotropy in electrical and optical characterizatics. In nonpolar (10-10) growth using laser-MBE, we found that novel in
situ growth techniques allowed for the fabrication of dense arrays of conductive one-dimensional nanostripes with a high
degree of lateral periodicity. Highly anisotropic surface morphologies markedly influenced electron transport of ZnO
single layers and Mg0.12Zn0.88O/ZnO multi-quantum wells (MQWs) with conductivity parallel to the nanostripe arrays being more than one order of magnitude larger than that observed perpendicular to the nanostripe arrays.
