A novel heterostructured ZnO/ZnS ring structure has been synthesized. The formation process of the is attributed to strain induced bending that arises mainly from lattice mismatch between ZnO and ZnS. This growth model in consistent electrostatic proposed previously about nanorings, nanosprings nanohelices, but it shows dominant contribution interface for such a special case. provides an ideal candidate investigate optoelectronics structured II-VI semiconductors.
