   Abstract:
   Thermal conductivities (K) of melt-grown bulk ZnO samples thermally treated under different conditions were measured using scanning thermal microscopy. Samples annealed in air at 1050°C for 3 h and treated with N-plasma at 750°C for 1 min. exhibited κ = 1.35 ± 0.08 W/cm-K and κ = 1.47 ± 0.08 W/cm-K, respectively. These are the highest values reported for ZnO. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and conductive-AFM measurements revealed that surface carrier concentration as well as surface morphology affected the thermal conductivity.
