Single crystals of ZnO were grown at 1 050–1200°C by the oxidation of zine vapor which was continuously evolved at constant rate of 7.2 × 10 −5 mol/min. Favourable flow rate of oxygen was 4.3–6.6 × 10 −5 mol/min and was 1.2–1.8 times than theoretical value to oxidize zine vapor. The crystals grew larger with raising up growing temperature. Large crystals having maximum size of 2–4 mm ini diameter and 22 mm long were grown at 1200°C for 55 hours. The crystals were light gray and transparent. Representative forms of the crystals were both platelet with developed (100) face and hexagonal prism‐type.
