	abstract = {<p>We report the low thermal-emissive surface properties of composites of ZnO-polyimide. The composites were synthesized by depositing ZnO on polyimide surface by pulsed laser deposition technique. ZnO target was ablated at different incident energy densities and the substrate (polyimide) was held at elevated temperature. This facilitated the c-axis oriented growth of ZnO, which was inferred from the X-ray diffraction analysis. The composites consisted of multilayers having different electrical resistivities. The values of which are also estimated from Hagen-Rubens relation. The reduced infrared emissivities of the composite films, as compared to polyimide, were correlated to the increased carrier concentration and reduced surface resistivity estimated from the Hall measurements.

	abstract = {<p>We report well dispersed horizontal growth of ZnO sub-micron structures using simplest technique ever known i.e. chemical bath deposition (CBD). A set of samples were prepared under two different cases A) dumbbell shaped ZnO grown in CBD bath and B) tubular ZnO structures evolved from dumbbell shaped structures by dissolution mechanism. Single phase wurtzite ZnO formation is confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique in both cases. From the morphological investigations performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), sample prepared under case A indicate formation of hex bit tool (HBT) shaped ZnO crystals, which observed to self-organize to form dumbbell structures. Further these microstructures are then converted into tubular structures as a fragment of post CBD process. The possible mechanism responsible for the self-assembly of HBT units to form dumbbell structures is discussed. Observed free excitonic peak located at 370 nm in photoluminescence (PL) spectra recorded at 18 K indicate that the micro/nanostructures synthesized using CBD are of high optical quality.
