Recent experimental verifications of predicted intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism in transition metal doped-ZnO nanostructures have increased their attractiveness as promising candidates for optoelectronic and ...

This thesis investigated the effect of incorporation of Sr2+ and Ca2+ ions on the structural and magnetic properties of LaMnO3 (LMO) powders synthesized by sol-gel and thermal treatment method at 900°C. X-ray diffraction ...

The effective incorporation of dopant species into ZnO host structure usually induces changes in its physical and chemical properties enabling the establishment of novel multi-functional properties. In the case of doping ...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an alternative to traditional cancer treatments. This approach involves the use of photosensitizer (PS) agents and their interaction with light. As a consequence, cytotoxic reactive oxygen ...

This work report a systematic investigation on the effect of Eu3+ ions on structural and physical properties of nanocrystalline ZnO (nanopowders-NPs and nanocrystals-NCs) and Gd2O3 (NPs and thin films), which were obtained ...

Pure and doped CoxZn1-xFe2O4 (0.5≤x≤1.0) nanocrystals have been synthesized by conventional and modified size-controlled coprecipitation methods. In the latter, the control of the oversaturation in reacting solutions, ...

The ability to produce high-quality single-phase diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) is the driving factor to study DMS for spintronic applications. ZnO is a wide band gap semiconductor of the II-VI semiconductor group ...

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a high quality semiconductor material that has been studied for several decades due to its applications in optics and optoelectronics. Currently, ZnO-based nanoparticles (NPs) are being widely studied ...
