ZnO films were grown on graphite substrates by pulsed laser deposition under different nitrogen pressure (0.01 - 1.0 mbar) using a KrF excimer laser. The film thickness was between 60 and 500 nm. X-ray diffraction experiments of (100) and (112) reflections demonstrate the a-plane orientation of pure ZnO films. The line broadening of reflection peaks yield crystallite sizes of approximately 50 nm. The comparison of XRD lattice parameters and Zn-O and Zn-Zn distances as determined by EXAFS experiments at the Zn K edge indicates a mismatch to the structure of ZnO single crystals as well as a slight dependence on nitrogen pressure. X-ray absorption experiments of the near edge region (XANES) show an orientation dependence of signals on x-ray polarization and a correlation between the intensity of 1s to 4p transition with the defect concentration. XANES simulations of Zn K edge by means of a multiple-scattering approach demonstrate the sensitivity to vacancy defects. With that structural models of defect centers has been developed to interpret the experimental data.
