Effect of Cu incorporation on the crystallinity, lattice strain, morphology and electrical properties of nanostructured ZnS-PVA thin films

Enhancement of Red Upconversion Emission of ZnS: Er3+/Yb3+ Powders Synthesized via Solid Phase Reaction Method by Introducing Metal Fluoride

“…As shown in Figure 2, it can be observed that all the slopes of samples synthesized with different metal fluorides are positive, indicating the expansion of ZnS lattice duo to Er 3+ and Yb 3+ doping [30] . As shown in Table 1, it can be seen clearly that the lattice constant, unit cell volume and lattice strain decrease with metal fluorides codoping, which indicates the increase of the resultant distortion [31] . And the crystalline sizes are obtained from the y‐intersect of the fitted line.…”

“…[30] As shown in Table 1, it can be seen clearly that the lattice constant, unit cell volume and lattice strain decrease with metal fluorides codoping, which indicates the increase of the resultant distortion. [31] And the crystalline sizes are obtained from the yintersect of the fitted line. It can be seen that the average crystallite size obtained from the WÀ H analysis basically matched with that of Scherrer formula.…”

ZnSe Nanoparticles for Thermoelectrics: Impact of Cu-Doping

“…Doping of these nanostructures can significantly enhance their properties, and the use of transition metals, such as Mn +2 , has been extensively studied in various nanocrystalline and nanoparticle materials [18][19][20][21]. Among different transition metal doping agents, copper ions (Cu 2+ ) are also interesting dopants for ZnSe, as Cu possesses similar electronic shell structure and physical and chemical properties to that of Zn [22]. Thus, Zn 2+ ion can be easily replaced by Cu 2+ .…”
