Photocatalysis has attracted significant attention as a potential issue for the degradation of toxic organic pollutants such as Congo Red. In this research spherical Pure ZnO nano particles and Ni-Co-ZnO nano composites (Zn0.95Ni0.04Co0.01O,  Zn0.95Ni0.025Co0.025O and  Zn0.95Ni0.01Co0.04O) have been synthesized by precipitation method. X- ray diffraction, Fourier transform Infra Red ,field emis...

Quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ calculations are presented for the band structures of $\mathrm{Li}\mathrm{Ga}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{Na}\mathrm{Ga}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ in orthorhombic $Pna{2}_{1}$ tetrahedrally coordinated crystal structures, which closely related to wurtzite structure ZnO. Symmetry labeling bands near gap is carried out, effective-mass tensors extracted conduction-band ...

Nanometre-sized inorganic dots, wires and belts have a wide range of electrical and optical properties, and variable mechanical stability and phase-transition mechanisms that show a sensitive dependency on size, shape and structure. The optical properties of the semiconductor ZnS in wurtzite structures are considerably enhanced, but the lack of structural stability limits technological applicat...

ZnMgO thin films were grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy on closely-lattice-matched MgO substrates with a Radio-Frequency (RF) generated oxygen plasma. The impact on the cubic ZnMgO of oxygen flow rate and applied RF power was investigated under a high vacuum condition (1E-6 Torr). Optical Emission Spectroscopy identified active species in the plasma including O, O + , and O þ 2. The emission inte...

GaAs was radially deposited on InAs nanowires by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition and resultant nanowire heterostructures were characterized by detailed electron microscopy investigations. The GaAs shells have been grown in wurtzite structure, epitaxially on the wurtzite structured InAs nanowire cores. The fundamental reason of structural evolution in terms of material nucleation and int...

Ambient S annealing was adopted to regulate the crystallinity of a ZnS microsphere, which resulted in a significant improvement in the photocatalytic hydrogen production activity (PHPA). Moreover, with S ambient treatment, wurtzite ZnS showed better PHPA than sphalerite ZnS, possibly because the inter-polar electric field of the wurtzite phase could promote the separation of photo-excited elect...

We present a theory and calculation scheme of structural optimization at finite temperatures within the quasiharmonic approximation (QHA). The is based on an efficient updating interatomic force constants with change crystal structures, which we call IFC renormalization. cell shape atomic coordinates are treated equally simultaneously optimized. apply to thermal expansion pyroelectricity wurtzi...

Abstract We report a “nano-on-micro” approach for growth of cactus-like nanostructures zinc oxide (ZnO) gas sensing application. use electrospun polymeric fibers doped with catalyst nanoparticles as the template and employ vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method to ZnO nanostructures. Controlling processing variables in VLS process yields needle-like around fibers, which resembles needles cactus. The n...
