The electronic properties of ZnO have traditionally been explained by invoking intrinsic
defects. In particular, the frequently observed unintentional n-type conductivity has often …

We present a detailed study of the first-and second-order Raman effect in cubic ZnS using
both 4880 and 5145 Å excitation. Our primary interest is to determine to what extent …

The aim of this study is to obtain high-quality zinc oxide thin films at room temperature by
reactive radiofrequency (rf) magnetron sputtering in an oxygen environment. The films were …

The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence PL transitions associated with
various excitons and their phonon replicas in high-purity bulk ZnO has been studied at …

Recent ultrasonic experiments on single-crystal specimens of the wurtzite (B 4) phase of
ZnO have shown that, under pressure, this material becomes softer against shear-type …

In this work we present a detailed Raman scattering investigation of zinc oxide and
aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films characterized by a variety of nanoscale structures …

At carrier densities above the Mott density, Coulomb screening destroys the exciton
resonance. This, together with band-gap renormalization and band filling, severely affects …

The effects of including the Hubbard on-site Coulombic correction to the structural
parameters and valence energy states of wurtzite ZnO were explored. Due to the changes in …

Raman spectra of ZnO powder and free-standing nanowires prepared by laser ablation
have been studied. All observed vibrational modes in ZnO powder, both first order and …

Raman scattering has been used to study the influence of nitrogen, a potential acceptor in
ZnO, on the lattice dynamics of ZnO. It is found that N+ implantation increased the lattice …
