Structure, Microstructure and Physicalproperties of ZnO based Materials Invarious Forms : Bulk, Thin film and Nano

Authors(1) :-Dr. Anil Kumar Singh

ZnO is a unique material that offers about a dozen different applicationpossibilities. In spite of the fact that the ZnO lattice is amenable to metal iondoping (3d and 4f), the physics of doping in ZnO is not completelyunderstood. This paper presents a review of previous research works onZnO and also highlights results of our research activities on ZnO. Thereview pertains to the work on Al and Mg doping for conductivity and bandgap tuning in ZnO followed by a report on transition metal (TM) ion dopedZnO. This review also highlights the work on the transport and opticalstudies of TM ion doped ZnO, nanostructured growth (ZnO polycrystallineand thin films) by different methods and the formation of unique nano- andmicrostructures obtained by pulsed laser deposition and chemical methods.This is followed by results on ZnO encapsulated Fe3O4nanoparticles thatshow promising trends suitable for various applications. We have alsoreviewed the non-linear characteristic studies of ZnO based heterostructuresfollowed by an analysis on the work carried out on ZnO based phosphors,which include mainly the nanocrystalline ZnO encapsulated SiO2,anewclass of phosphor that is suitable for white light emission.
