description A method for fabricating flexible free-standing ZnO/Zn composite films from the vapor phase using a regular array of silicon microwhiskers as a substrate is presented. The structural and morphological peculiarities, as well as luminescent properties of the films, were studied. The films have a hybrid structure consisting of two main microlayers. The first layer is formed directly on the tops of Si whiskers and has a thickness up to 10 µm. This layer features a polycrystalline structure and well-developed surface morphology. The second layer, which makes up the front side of the films, is up to 100 µm thick and consists of large microcrystals. The films show good bending strength-in particular, resistance to repeated bending and twisting-which is provided by a zinc metallic part constituting the flexible carrier of the films. ZnO photoluminescence was observed from both surfaces of the films but with conspicuous spectral differences. In particular, a significant weakening of ZnO green luminescence (more than 10 times) at an almost constant intensity of UV near-band edge emission was found for the polycrystalline side of the films as compared to the microcrystalline side. A high degree of homogeneity of the luminescent properties of the films over their area was demonstrated. The results obtained emphasize the relevance of further studies of such ZnO structures-in particular, for application in flexible devices, sensors, photocatalysis and light generation.
