This Review highlights basic and transition metal conducting and semiconducting oxides.
We discuss their material and electronic properties with an emphasis on the crystal …

This review attempts to compile the physics and chemistry of defects in zinc oxide (ZnO), at
both, the fundamental and application levels. The defects, either inherent ones or introduced …

The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part
because of its large exciton binding energy (60 meV) which could lead to lasing action …

A porous ZnO nanosheet with a near-rectangular morphology has been successfully
prepared through a simple solvothermal-annealing method using Zn5 (OH) 6 (CO3) 2 as a …

The total energy of ZnO as a function of unit cell volume has been calculated for the zinc-
blende, wurtzite, and rocksalt structures by the ab initio all-electron periodic Hartree-Fock …

ZnO has attracted considerable attention for optical device applications because of several
potential advantages over GaN, such as commercial availability of bulk single crystals and a …

We present a detailed investigation on optical properties of high-pressure phase ZnO in B 1
(NaCl) and B 2 (CsCl) structures, including dielectric function, refractive index, absorption …

Despite an extensive research effort for over 60 years, an understanding of the origins of
conductivity in wide band gap transparent conducting oxide (TCO) semiconductors remains …

An ab initio pseudopotential method based on density functional theory, generalized
gradient corrections to exchange and correlation, and projector-augmented waves is used to …

We prepared ZnO ultrafine particles (UFPs) by thermal decomposition of the precursor zinc
carbonate hydroxide. The surface properties of the as-prepared particles were studied using …
