In this article the doping of the oxidic compound semiconductor ZnO is reviewed with special
emphasis on n-type doping. ZnO naturally exhibits n-type conductivity, which is used in the …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is widely used to determine the chemical and
electronic states of atoms within a material. However, it is often complex to interpret the O 1s …

Nearly all metals, alloys, ceramics, and their associated composites are polycrystalline in
nature, with grain boundaries that separate well-defined crystalline regions that influence …

Bismuth doped ZnO nanopowders with doping concentrations between 0 and 7% mol were
successfully synthesized with a soft chemistry method: the sol-gel route. This method allows …

In this paper, we prepared mesoporous ZnO/SnO2 composite nanofibers via the
electrospinning technique using zinc acetate (Zn (OAc) 2) and stannic chloride pentahydrate …

In low-voltage varistor ceramics, the phase equilibrium and the temperature of liquid-phase
formation are defined by the TiO2/Bi2O3 ratio. The selection of a composition with an …

We investigated the high-temperature thermoelectric properties of Ga: ZnO bulk compounds,
synthesized using a simple and scalable solid-state process. The effects of a low gallium …

A simple and promising varistor with low additive level was obtained by rapid microwave
sintering. In the present work, only 2%-mol of oxides, equimolarly distributed between Bi 2 O …

We report that Sb-decorated head-to-head (H–H) basal plane inversion domain boundaries
(b-IDBs) lead to stable p-type conduction in Sb-doped ZnO nanowires (NWs) due to Sb and …

In order to provide an effective and reliable approach to solving the difficulties in p-type
modification of ZnO nanomaterials, in this work, we successfully synthesized ZnO films with …
