The II-VI semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) has been the subject of intensive research due to its wide spectrum of properties which results in a plethora of applications including optoelectronic and piezoelectric technologies. In particular, the morphology and thereby the physical properties of ZnO are significantly affected through defect structures induced by twinning. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of twin interfaces is a pivotal for a future optimization of controlling and device performance. Based on analytical electron microscopic observations, a three dimensional model of the (1 0 -1 -1) twin boundary interface is derived which allows a convincing simulation of experimental micrographs. In addition, dynamic effects at the twin interface can be studied in simulated diffraction patterns via the model. The authors would like to thank the DFG for funding via the SFB 855.
