1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Size and Defect Fascinations ZnO is a kind of amazing material with
multiple functions that have been investigated since the 1940s. With and without dopant …

Bond relaxation from one equilibrium to another under perturbation matters uniquely the
performance of a substance and thus it has enormous impact to materials science and …

Plasmonic excitation of Au nanoparticles attached to the surface of ZnO catalysts using low
power 532 nm laser illumination leads to significant heating of the catalyst and the …

Phonons play a pivotal role in the lattice dynamics and thermal transport properties of AlN
epilayers. Revealing the phonon anharmonicity and epilayer-substrate interactions is the …

Raman spectra were measured for palladium oxide (PdO) at temperatures from 298 to 973
K. The first-order scattering B1g and Eg phonon modes show prominent frequency and line …

Delafossite p-type CuFeO 2 (CFO) semiconductors were synthesized by a modified solid
state reaction technique and investigated by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoemission …

Abstract Al-doped ZnO (ZnO: Al) rods with Al doping varying from 0 to 20% were
successfully prepared via a solvothermal method. ZnO: Al rods exhibit the hexagonal …

We present a detailed study on both the structural and magnetic properties of the Sr 2 RuMn
1-x Ir x O 6 double perovskite oxides with four different concentrations (x= 0, 0.25, 0.5 and …

In this report, we have addressed a comprehensive study on the structural phase transitions
with the help of a combination of high temperature x-ray diffraction and temperature …

Transition‐metal‐doped semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) have been well studied for their
optical and catalytic properties but seldom studied by surface‐enhanced Raman scattering …
