Tubular micro/nanostructures have gained considerable interest for both fundamental scientific studies and practical applications due to their unique and delicate constructions [1-2]. However, for quite a long time, it was quite difficult to synthesize tubular structures for non-layered materials such as oxides, metals and nitrides because of the difficulties of controlling their dimensions.
Here we observed a novel growth mechanism of tubular ZnO microstructures. As demonstrated by a detailed growth study of ZnO crystals and by first-principles calculations, the formation of H2/H2O vapour changes the ZnO crystal surface energy and controls the geometry of ZnO micro/nanotubes.Furthermore, we demonstrated that the fabricated microtubes could be employed as tunable optical resonators. The effect of the unique tubular structure on the intensity modulations is discussed theoretically based on a plane wave model and finite-element-method (FEM) simulations, which agrees well with the experimental results.
