ZnO nanorod arrays were fabricated using a hydrothermal method. The nanorods studied by scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence (PL), time-resolved PL, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and positron annihilation spectroscopy before after annealing in different environments at temperatures. Annealing atmosphere temperature had significant effects on the PL spectrum, while all cases diffusion length decay times increased. We found that, defect emission can be significantly reduced 200...
Abstract Rechargeable aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (ZIBs) show attractive potential in energy storage devices on account of high safety and eco‐friendliness. Yet the lack suitable cathode materials prevented practical application ZIBs. In our work, a Na 0.56 V 2 O 5 (NVO) nanobelt material has been fabricated via hydrothermal reaction. The prepared NVO samples reveal an expanded layer spacing, assisted by chemical intercalation + into . Particularly, mild hybrid cationic electrolyte (0.5HCE,...
Recently, the optoelectronic memory is capturing growing attention due to its integrated function of sense and as well multilevel storage ability. Although tens states have been reported in literature, there are still three obvious deficiencies most memories: large programming voltage (>20 V), high optical power density (>1 mW cm-2), poor compatibility originating from over-reliance on channel materials. Here, we firstly propose an based a new photosensitive dielectric (PSD) architecture....
A systematic study of various, nominally undoped ZnO single crystals, either hydrothermally grown (HTG) or melt (MG), has been performed. The crystal quality assessed by x-ray diffraction, and a comprehensive estimation the detailed impurity hydrogen contents inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry nuclear reaction analysis, respectively, made also. High precision positron lifetime experiments show that is observed in all crystals investigated, which clusters at 180--182 ps 165--167 for...
Abstract Zinc oxide is a very promising material for short‐wavelength light‐emitting devices due to its large band gap and high exciton binding energy. Although great progress has been made in recent years, p‐type doping control over native defects introduced during or after growth are still significant problems that hinder the development of efficient ZnO based optoelectronic devices. Here we demonstrate versatile method n‐type nanorods from same solution at temperature as low 90 °C, where...
A new type of monolithic planar transmission line, the microshield is proposed. This line can operate without need for via-holes or use air-bridges ground equalization. Furthermore, it has shown tendency to radiate less than conventional microstrip coplanar waveguide (CPW) and provide a wide range impedances due many available parameters design. The space domain integral equation method used analyze four different discontinuities proposed type. comparison CPW with respect radiation shows...

Rectifying undoped and nitrogen-doped ZnO∕p-Si heterojunctions were fabricated by plasma immersion ion implantation deposition. The ZnO films n type (n∼1019cm−3) highly resistive (resistivity ∼105Ωcm), respectively. While forward biasing the undoped-ZnO∕p-Si, current follows Ohmic behavior if applied bias Vforward is larger than ∼0.4V. However, for nitrogen-doped-ZnO∕p-Si sample, Vforward<1.0V then transits to J∼V2 Vforward>2.5V. transport properties of undoped-ZnO∕p-Si...

The LEDs can work continuously for about 97 h under the injection of a 20 mA continuous current, which is best value ever reported ZnO-based LEDs. performance degrades little after several running cycles. above results reveal applicability p-MgZnO films in optoelectronic devices.
Undoped and Ga-doped ZnO films were grown on c-sapphire using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at the substrate temperature of 600 °C. Positron annihilation spectroscopy study (PAS) shows that dominant VZn-related defect in as-grown undoped with relative low oxygen pressure P(O2) is a vacancy cluster (most likely VZn-nVO complex n = 2, 3) rather than isolated VZn which has lower formation energy. Annealing these samples 900 °C induces out-diffusion Zn from film into sapphire creating...
