Abstract

Let’s become twins! Early stages of formation of twin ZnO nanorods under microwave irradiation have been studied. The coupling of facets with the same polarity was triggered by the rough surface and the defect-rich microstructure of the constituent ZnO building blocks. Oriented attachment was found to be the underlying mechanism of the twinning process (see scheme).
