Since the end of the cold war, macroscopic amounts of separated stable isotopes of most
elements have been available “off the shelf” at affordable prices. Using these materials …

We present a review of the recent theoretical and experimental investigation of excitonic and
phonon states in ZnO quantum dots. A small dielectric constant in ZnO leads to very large …

Recent developments on the synthesis of networked nanostructures have added new
amplitudes for designing multifunctional devices, including sensors and UV photodetectors …

We present a Raman scattering study of wurtzite ZnO over a temperature range from 80 to
750 K. Second-order Raman features are interpreted in the light of recent ab initio phonon …

Using ab initio calculations, we have investigated the phonon linewidths and the thermal
conductivity (κ) of monolayer MoS 2. κ for a typical sample size of 1 μm is 83 W/m K at room …

The development of cost-effective and low-temperature synthesis techniques for the growth
of high-quality zinc oxide thin films is paramount for fabrication of ZnO-based optoelectronic …

In this work, we report on a single ZnO nanowire-based nanoscale sensor fabricated using
focused ion beam (FIB/SEM) instrument. We studied the diameter dependence of the gas …

We have measured nonresonant and resonant Raman-scattering spectra from ZnO
nanocrystals with an average diameter of 20 nm⁠. Based on our experimental data and …

We have performed first-principles calculations of the electronic structure of ZnO, and
applied them to the determination of structural and lattice-dynamical properties and their …

Anomalous Raman modes have been reported in several recent papers dealing with doped-
and undoped-ZnO layers grown by different methods. Most of these anomalous Raman …
