Reduced graphene oxide–ZnO (rGO–ZnO) is synthesized by in situ growth of ZnO on the
surface of graphene oxide (GO) by facile solution methods; namely, a solution precipitation …

In materials showing reverse saturable absorption (RSA), the optical absorbance increases
as the power of the light incident on them increases. To date, RSA has only been observed …

CuS semiconductor nanometer‐sized hollow spheres are successfully synthesized by using
a soft‐template method. A possible growth mechanism is proposed. The linear optical …

Presence of inorganic pollutants in water reservoirs is the treating factor for human health
and environment. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) has been regarded as one of the …
