121. Zinc oxide is a versatile II-VI group compound semiconductor (hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure) used in many kinds of devices such as surface acoustic wave devices, transparent electrodes, transparent thin-film transistor, varistor, piezoelectric transducers, phosphors, optoelectronics in blue and ultraviolet light-emitting devices, and sensors. This is due in part to the greatly improved quality of its wide band gap (3.37 eV at room temperature) and large exciton binding energy (about 60 meV) which should ensure excitonic survival well above room temperature. See, e.g., D. C. Look, Mater. Sci. Eng., B 0921-5107 10.1016/S0921-5107(00)00604-8 80, 383 (2001), T. Minami, Mater. Res. Bull. 0025-5408 25, 38 (2000), H.-J.

The term magnetoelectric is reserved for the special symmetries where a free energy invariant proportional to PM is allowed, where P and M denote the polarization and the magnetization, respectively; see L. D. Landau, E. M. Lifshitz, and L. D. Pitaevskii, Electrodynamics of Continuous Media (Pergamon, New York, 1984). For the more general couplings, we introduce the term magnetodielectric effects.
