It has two common crystalline forms (polymorphs): Sphalerite (“zinc blende”), with a cubic crystal structure, is the form that predominates in nature. Wurtzite, with hexagonal crystals, is scarcer, ...

A twin plane in a zinc-blende (stacking fault in a wurtzite) nanowire can be considered as a monolayer of the wurtzite (zinc blende) phase 11. Stacking faults can significantly affect the ...

It crystallizes in two main forms, hexagonal wurtzite and cubic zincblende. The wurtzite structure is more stable that the zinc blende structure. It is a wide-bandgap semiconductor of the II-VI ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

The zincblende structure is shown here, but wurtzite is more stable under ambient conditions. ZnO occurs in the mineral zincite, but most of the commercial product is made by the high-temperature ...
