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 …

We report a novel theoretical model without any fitting parameters for the temperature
dependence of band gap energy in semiconductors. This model relates the band gap …

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 …

We have formulated the size and temperature dependence of the phonon relaxation
dynamics for CdS, CdSe, Bi 2 Se 3, and Sb 2 Te 3 nanostructures based on the framework …

Nanoparticles of ZnO were synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The ZnO samples
were irradiated by Li3+ swift heavy ions (SHI) with fluences of 5× 1011 and 1× 1013 ions per …

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide band-gap semiconductor material with versatile applications in
high-tech fields. Under high pressure, ZnO exhibits multiple phase transitions, which are of …

Branched hierarchical zinc oxide nanowires (BH-ZnO NWs) were fabricated successfully by
a facile and rapid synthesis using two-step growth process. Initially, ZnO NWs have been …

Semiconductor–metal nanocomposites are being pursued for use as a new generation of
light emitters and photovoltaic devices. A convenient method for attaching gold …

The relationship between the composition of the internal defect states, spectral properties,
and correlated electronic structures of wurtzite zinc oxide (ZnO) crystals under 645 MeV …
