Third order optical nonlinearities in ZnFe2O4 nanocrystals

Electrochemical Method for Synthesis of a ZnFe2O4/TiO2 Composite Nanotube Array Modified Electrode with Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Activity

“…It possesses a wide range of functional properties for practical applications, such as magnetic behavior,46 electrical characteristics,47 absorbent material for hot‐gas desulfurization,48, 49 and so on. Compared to other inorganic semiconducting materials (such as CdS, CdSe, and PbS), ZnFe 2 O 4 as a more promising material has received special attention due to its visible light activity, better stability,50 and the tunable band edge by modulating grain size, offering an opportunity to harvest most of the visible portion of the solar spectrum 51. Recently, Zeng et al52 synthesized the novel TiO 2 /ZnFe 2 O 4 coating by plasma spraying.…”

[51] Recently, Zeng et al [52] synthesized the novel TiO 2 /ZnFe 2 O 4 coating by plasma spraying. Yin and co-workers reported that the photoelectrochemical properties of the TiO 2 films can be significantly improved by the introduction of ZnFe 2 O 4 nanocrystals.…”

Enhanced optical limiting in nanosized mixed zinc ferrites

“…These structures are characterized by superparamagnetism and tunable surface properties. Optical nonlinearities in ferrites are relatively unexplored, and reports [3][4][5] are rare compared to organics, semiconductors, and metals. Modifications in optical nonlinearity caused by the inclusion of different transition metals into a spinel ferrite system would be of considerable interest owing to applications including optical limiting.…”
