Summary: The optical and electrical properties of Ga-doped ZnO powders are significantly influenced by the annealing atmosphere. GZO annealed in Ar, N-2, and H-2 atmosphere exhibits excellent electrical resistivity, while GZO annealed in O-2 atmosphere shows poor electrical resistivity. The emission characteristics of GZO are related to oxygen vacancy and Ga doping.

Summary: This study prepared ZnO films with various nonpolar preferred orientations using conventional chemical bath deposition method and characterized their growth process and mechanism. It was found that the type and concentration of nitrate could control the preferred orientation and surface roughness of ZnO films. Additionally, ZnO films with different preferred orientations exhibited different optical properties.

Summary: This paper explores the technology and method of ultrasonic-assisted direct precipitation for mass production of high-quality ZnO powder and analyzes the effects of various factors on the powder's properties. The optimal conditions for preparing spherical ZnO powder were found to be using (NH4)2CO3 as the precipitant, adding 3% wt of PEG-400 and 3% wt of TEA, at a calcination temperature of 320°C and a 60% ethanol solvent. The resulting powder exhibited a smooth surface, uniform particle size distribution, good dispersibility, high crystallinity, and particle sizes between 26-32nm.

Summary: This paper presents the synthesis and analysis of critical behavior of (Ni,Zn,Fe,Cu,Mn)(3)O-4 spinel-oxide ceramics near magnetic phase transition. A new approach of analyzing Arrott-Noakes diagrams is proposed, which considers the quality of the straightness of isotherms and the requirement of the critical straight line passing through the origin. The obtained results indicate mainly isotropic, long-range exchange interactions in the studied ceramic oxide.

Summary: In this study, an Al2O3/ZnO heterojunction was grown on a Si single crystal substrate using thermal and plasma-assisted atomic layer deposition (ALD). The band offsets and interface formation of the heterojunction were investigated. The results showed that the valence band maximum of Al2O3 is 1.1 eV below that of ZnO, and the conduction band minimum of Al2O3 is 2.3 eV above that of ZnO, indicating a type-I staggered heterojunction. Furthermore, the reduction of ZnO to metallic Zn and the creation of oxygen vacancies in ZnO at the interface region were observed, suggesting a different interface formation mechanism from previous models. This study emphasizes the importance of in situ control of interfacial properties, such as band bending and band offsets.

Summary: The hydrothermal method was used to create dilute magnetic semiconductor nanoparticles of Zn1-xCoxO (x = 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.09). The effect of cobalt doping on the microstructure, morphological and optical properties of Zn1-xCoxO was studied. The results showed that cobalt doping decreased the crystallinity of ZnO, but had little influence on the shape of the nanoparticles. Doped samples exhibited ferromagnetic behavior above room temperature, with the best performance observed at a Co content of 0.05. Doped ZnO nanoparticles showed improved dielectric, electrical conductivity, and magnetic properties compared to pure ZnO.

Summary: In this study, the synthesis of ZnO films by chemical bath deposition with the assistance of zinc chloride as an additive was investigated. The films were characterized using various techniques, and the results showed that by changing the concentration of zinc chloride, ZnO films with different preferential growth orientations can be obtained, which exhibit good optical transmittance and different visible emissions. It was also found that the concentration of Cl- can affect the defects and preferred orientations of the ZnO films.

Summary: In this study, CuO, ZnO, and CZO powders were synthesized through the aqueous solution method. The influence of different proportions of Cu and Zn doping on the photoelectromagnetic properties of CZO powder was analyzed. Direct synthesis was found to be the most effective process, with CZO exhibiting the best electromagnetic properties when Cu:Zn ratio was close to 1:1.

Summary: In this study, different types of ZnO-based nanocomposites were fabricated and characterized. The etching of ZnO nanorods increased the surface area and defect concentration, while sulfurization of the ZnO/ZnS nanotubes reduced defects and improved surface roughness. The results indicate that ZnO and ZnO/ZnS nanotubes hold promise for sensing device applications.

Summary: Octahedral Cu2O@Cu powders were prepared using a two-step liquid phase reduction method with glucose and thiourea dioxide as pre-reductant and secondary-reductant, enhancing their photocatalytic properties. Varying the content of thiourea dioxide led to the formation of different structures, with photocatalytic performance significantly improved in the presence of CuNPs under visible light irradiation.
