چکیده
This work report on the structural and electrical characteristics of zinc oxide single crystal samples doped with antimony. Doping was carried out by antimony thermal diffusion at 1000 °C for periods of one and two hours under nitrogen environment from a solid source formed by antimony oxide. X-ray diffraction was used to determine the crystalline phases in samples and the structural change owing to diffusion. Electrical characterization by Hall effect and I-V curves showed an increase in acceptor concentration and conductivity which demonstrates that doping is effective and create acceptors in zinc oxide samples.

Lu3+/Yb3+ and Lu3+/Er3+ Co-doped Sb2Se3 nanomaterials were synthesized by a Co-reduction method in hydrothermal condition. Powder XRD patterns indicate that the LnxLn′xSb2-2xSe3 Ln: Lu3+/Yb3+ and Lu3+/Er3+ crystals (x= 0.00-0.04) are isostructural with Sb2Se3. The cell parameters were increased for compounds upon increasing the dopant content (x). SEM and TEM images show that Co-doping of Lu3+/...
