in the present study, co-zno and co-ni-zno nanoparticles were synthesized by sonochemical methods and the structural and optical properties were investigated through fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), uv-vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (pl) methods. morphology of nanoparticles obtain...

In this study, a novel method called “atmospheric pressure solution evaporation (APSE)” wasdeveloped for growing of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanostructures on Al2O3 surface. Zinc acetate dihydrate,Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone, and deionized water were used as precursor, capping, and solvent, respectively.The growth of ZnO nanostructures from evaporated solution was performed at three temperatures of300, 400, ...

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesised within the pores of the zeolite ferrierite (FER) by a novel molten salt impregnation method and compared to a traditional wet impregnation method. The structure and optical properties were characterised by powder XRD, photoluminescence and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The XRD results reveal a distinct difference in the effect of the impregnatio...

Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles with carbonate as the charge balancing anion in the interlayer space were synthesized using co-precipitation method. Then, the carbonate base Zn-Al LDH nanoparticles were doped with phosphate ion via anion-exchange reaction to synthesize Zn-Al-[PO43-]-[CO32-]. The structure and composition were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier ...

We examine the intrinsic energy dissipation steps in electrically biased graphene channels. By combining in-situ measurements of the spontaneous optical emission with a Raman spectroscopy study of the graphene sample under conditions of current flow, we obtain independent information on the energy distribution of the electrons and phonons. The electrons and holes contributing to light emission ...

We fabricated ordered GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) on patterned GaAs(0 0 1) substrates and investigated their optical properties by micro-photoluminescence (m-PL) spectroscopy. Sharp excitonic lines with single photon emission properties were observed. Polarization-dependent PL was performed to resolve the optical fine structure splitting of neutral excitonic lines and to identify the neutral...

Observation of non-equilibrium optical phonons population associated with electron transport in THz quantum cascade lasers is reported. The phonon occupation number was measured by using a combination of micro-probe photoluminescence and Stokes/Anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy. Energy balance analysis allows us to estimate the phonon relaxation rate, that superlinearly increases with the electric...

A novel π-conjugated organoboron polymer with a chiral side chain was prepared by way of hydroboration polymerization between an optically active diyne monomer and triisopropylphenylborane. The achiral analog of this organoboron polymer was also prepared as reference material. Optical properties and optical activity were investigated by UV–vis absorption, fluorescence emission, and circular dic...

We present the results of our search for optical counterparts to high-mass X-ray transient sources discovered by various X-ray missions. We obtained CCD images of the X-ray fields through BVR and Hα filters in order to identify early-type stars in the R − Hα versus B − V colour-colour diagram. We also obtained medium-resolution spectroscopy of the candidates in order to confirm the presence of ...
