Transparent conductors (TCs) have a multitude of applications for solar energy utilization
and for energy savings, especially in buildings. The largest of these applications, in terms of …

Studies at high pressures and temperatures are helpful for understanding the physical
properties of the solid state, including such classes of materials as, metals, semiconductors …

We have carried out optical-absorption and reflectance measurements at room temperature
in single crystals of AWO 4 tungstates (A= Ba, Ca, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sr, and Zn). From the …

AVO 4 orthovanadates are materials of fundamental and technological importance due to
the large variety of functional properties exhibited by them. These materials have potential …

ZnO is a unique material that offers about a dozen different application possibilities. In spite
of the fact that the ZnO lattice is amenable to metal ion doping (3d and 4f), the physics of …

The electronic structure of four ternary-metal oxides containing isolated vanadate ions is
studied. Zircon-type YVO 4, YbVO 4, LuVO 4, and NdVO 4 are investigated by high-pressure …

In this paper, we report on the optical and electrical transport studies of TM ion (Ni, Ti, V, Fe,
Cr, Mn, and Co) doped ZnO polycrystalline samples. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of …

The crystal structures, lattice vibrations, and electronic band structures of PbCrO4, PbSeO4,
SrCrO4, and SrSeO4 were studied by ab initio calculations, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray …

The electronic band-structure and band-gap dependence on the d character of A 2+ cation
in A WO 4 wolframite-type oxides is investigated for different compounds (A= Mg, Zn, Cd …

A simple low-temperature fabrication of fluorine-doped ZnO (ZnO: F) thin films by atomic
layer deposition (ALD) was investigated and the growth mode of the films was analyzed. A …
