Impact of silver/copper dual-doping on the structure, linear and non-linear optical performance of ZnO thin films

Effect of silver doping on the band gap tuning of tungsten oxide thin films for optoelectronic applications

“…The formation of grain size can change due to the incorporation of Ag thin films and finely tune the band gap of variety of oxide materials i.e. WO 3 , ZnO, etc., [ 24 , 25 ]. However, adjusting the band edge potential can enhance the water-splitting process.…”

The Effect of Co and Cu Co-Doping Zno Thin Films on Structural and Optical Properties

“…ZnO has been widely employed in a variety of fields, including automobile manufacturing, medical equipment, interactions, computers, electronics, optoelectronics, biological materials, storing data, converting energy, as well as architecture. All previous applications indicate that ZnO it has unique features [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. It is critical to determine which element or elements ZnO must be doped with in order to control the bands gap, conductivity, carrier's concentration and applications.…”

“…It is critical to determine which element or elements ZnO must be doped with in order to control the bands gap, conductivity, carrier's concentration and applications. Because of the potential uses in spintronics, several researchers have recently focused on doping levels ZnO with incorporating transition metals (TMs) such as Co, Mn, Cu, Ni, Fe, and Cr [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Copper is nearly optimal for changing the properties of ZnO among the other doping elements due to the atoms of copper possesses a radius and electronic shell similar to zinc atoms; thus, replacing zinc with copper does not result in a modification in the lattice constant.…”
