We present Al₂O₃-ZnAl₂O₄-ZnO nanostructure, which could be a prominent candidate for optoelectronics, mechanical and sensing applications. While ZnO and ZnAl₂O₄ composites are mostly synthesized by sol-gel technique, we propose a solid-vapor growth mechanism. To produce Al₂O₃-ZnAl₂O₄-ZnO nanostructure, we conduct ZnO:C powder heating resulting in ZnO nanowires (NWs) growth on sapphire substrate and ZnAl₂O₄ spinel layer at the interface. The nanostructure was examined with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) method. Focused Ion Beam (FIB) technique enabled us to prepare a lamella for Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging. TEM examination revealed high crystallographic quality of both spinel and NW structure. Epitaxial relationships of Al₂O₃-ZnAl₂O₄ and ZnAl₂O₄-ZnO are given.
