Attachment of hexamine to the nonpolar facets of the zincite crystal allows the growth of the crystal in the (0001) direction. (a) Hexagonal ZnO crystal and (b) possible attachment of hexamine on to the nonpolar facets leaving the polar face exposed allowing further crystal growth along the -direction (reproduced with the permission from [56]).
