The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part
because of its large exciton binding energy (60 meV) which could lead to lasing action …

In order to establish an energy system based on intermittent renewable energies it is of the
highest importance to develop efficient and commercially viable technologies. In this regard …

Dilute ferromagnetic oxides having Curie temperatures far in excess of 300 K and
exceptionally large ordered moments per transition-metal cation challenge our …

Room-temperature ferromagnetism is observed in (110) oriented ZnO films made from
targets containing 5 at.% of Sc, Ti, V, Fe, Co, or Ni, but not Cr, Mn, or Cu ions. There are …

This review article first presents a summary of current understanding of the magnetic
properties and intrinsic ferromagnetism of transition-metal (TM)-doped ZnO films, which are …

We review two strategies for growing ZnO nanowires from zinc salts in aqueous and organic
solvents. Wire arrays with diameters in the nanoscale regime can be grown in an aqueous …

The observation of ferromagnetism in magnetic ion doped II–VI diluted magnetic
semiconductors (DMSs) and oxides, and later in (Ga, Mn) As materials has inspired a great …

Abstract Polyaniline (PANI)-MO (where MO are NiO, ZnO, and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles)
nanocomposites coating on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was used for the …

There has been considerable recent interest in the design of diluted magnetic
semiconductors, with a particular focus on the exploration of different semiconductor hosts …

The annealing effects on structure and magnetism for Co-doped ZnO films under air, Ar, and
Ar∕ H 2 atmospheres at 250 C have been systematically investigated. Room-temperature …
