M. Peres et al. (pp. 1695–1698 ) characterize the morphological and optical properties of ZnO nanostructures grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on c‐sapphire and Si(111), assessing them by SEM, PL and reflection measurements. The SEM images show two main kinds of morphology: high‐density nanocolumn and nanocone arrays with preferential orientation perpendicular to the substrate plane. In order to analyse the antireflective properties of the PLD‐grown nanostructures, room‐temperature wavelength and angle dependent reflectance measurements were performed. The results suggest that these nanostructures act as highly effective broad‐band antireflection coatings.
