Cu-doped p-type ZnO films are grown on c-sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Photoluminescence (PL) experiments reveal a shallow acceptor state at 0.15 eV above the valence band edge. Hall effect results indicate that a growth condition window is found for the formation of p-type ZnO thin films, and the best conductivity is achieved with a high hole concentration of 1...

PURPOSE To evaluate changes in the physicochemical properties, water sorption (WS), solubility (SO), modulus of elasticity (E), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and microhardness (MH) tests were undertaken in zinc-doped dental adhesives. METHODS Two bonding resins, Adper Single Bond Plus (SB) and Clearfil SE Bond (SEB), were zinc-doped by mixing them with 5, 10 or 20 wt% of ZnO powder, or wit...

The aqueous-based Zn-ammine complex solutions represent one of the most promising routes to obtain the ZnO electron transport layer (ETL) at a low temperature in inverted organic solar cells (OSCs). However, to dope the ZnO film processed from the Zn-ammine complex solutions is difficult since the introduction of metal ions into the Zn-ammine complex is a nontrivial process as ammonium hydroxid...

In this work, photocatalytic performance is divulged in the ternary CuO-Ag-ZnO nanowire synthesized via a two-step approach. The decoration of Ag and CuO nanostructures onto surface ZnO nanowires was simply carried out by using plasma electrolytic oxidation method short time. structure, size, morphology, optical properties as-prepared samples were characterized X-ray diffraction, field-emission...

The glucose concentration in human blood can have a worrisome impact on health, so the distribution of contaminants body is an important indicator that be used to monitor diabetes. Diabetes affects many parts body, such as neurological impairment, erectile dysfunction, and hardening arteries resulting organ loss. In this study, cyclic voltammetry (CV) was process electrical properties solution ...

this study aimed to investigate the effects of tow nanoparticles (nps) on the absorption,accumulation, reproduction of the eisenia fetida. a 4×2×2 factorial experiment in a randomized completeblock design with three replications was conducted. the factors included in the experiment are the content ofnps at four levels (0, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2gr/kg weight of substrate), the type of nps at two level...

Zinc oxide and Ga-doped ZnO nanowires and nanorods are synthesized on various substrate like Fluorine doped tin oxide glass plate, SiO2 coated Silicon substrate and aluminum nitride coated silicon substrates. The coating process carried out using zinc oxide sol-gel solution. The synthesized material was characterized using XRD (X-ray diffraction), FE-SEM (Field emission scanning electron micros...

undoped and mn-doped zno nanoparticles were successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method with different annealing temperature conditions. structural, chemical and optical properties of the samples were studied by x-ray diffraction (xrd), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem), uv-vis spectrophotometry and fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy. the phase purity was con...

This paper reports the photoluminescence studies of Eu (RE)-doped ZnO nanophosphors synthesized by precipitation method using ethanolic solution as solvent. The prepared samples are characterized by a Philips Holland TW 1710 XRD measuring instrument with Co target. The ZnO structure is found to be wurtzite. The particle sizes are found to be in the range of 70 nm to 90 nm. The prominent peaks f...

In this study, the performance and stability of inverted bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymer solar cells (PSCs) is enhanced by doping zinc oxide (ZnO) with 0-6 wt % cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in the sol-gel ZnO precursor solution. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the optimized 3 wt % CTAB-doped ZnO PSCs was increased by 9.07%, compared to a PCE of 7.31% for the pristine ZnO dev...
