A comparative study of the physical properties of undoped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and Al doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) thin films were performed as a function of annealing temperature. The structural properties were analyzed using X-ray diffraction and…

Transition metal doping is known to increase the photosensitivity to visible light for photocatalytically active ZnO. We report on the electronic structure of nano-crystalline Fe:ZnO, which has recently been shown to be an efficient…

Ion implantation is an interesting method to dope semiconducting materials such as zinc oxide provided that the implantation-induced defects can be subsequently removed. Nitrogen implantation followed by anneals under O2 were carried out on…

Thin films of undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) and doped ZnO with copper were deposited on ceramic pellets made from abundant local clay materials with an addition of zirconia (ZrO2). The thin layers were prepared by a thermal method using an…
