The growth of heteroepitaxial ZnO films on (110) diamond substrates is demonstrated by molecular beam epitaxy. Structural characterization is performed by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging (STEM), where single domain growth is observed. The growth direction is found to be along the polar c-axis with Zn-polarity, deduced from annular bright field STEM. Photoluminescence and absorption studies reveal good optical properties as well as amplified spontaneous emission for optical excitation above a threshold of 30 kW/cm2. In addition, electronic band structure simulations are presented, showing that the ZnO polarity dominates the electronic structure of the interface: the formation of a 2DEG on the ZnO side or a 2DHG on the diamond side are predicted for Zn- and O-polarity, respectively.
