Under-coordinated corner and edge sites often dictate oxide properties, however, information about their atomic-scale structure and chemical nature is often missing. Here, a combined experimental and theoretical study of the ZnO(10-14) surface reveals stable, long-range ordered, non-polar facets of ZnO, with a high step-density and uniform termination.
