Summary:The subject of the present work is different types of nanostructured ZnO films produced by pulsed laser deposition. The influence was investigated of the surface morphology on the physicochemical and optical properties of the nanostructured films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to study the composition and chemical state of the nanostructured ZnO. The changes occurring on the surface of the films after prolonged exposure in air are considered in the light of practical applications of ZnO films. The change in the number of adsorbed species on the surface with the time affects the surface conductivity, the latter in turn modifying the optical properties of the samples.
