Cathodoluminescent and nonlinear optical properties of undoped and erbium doped nanostructured ZnO films deposited by spray pyrolysis

Influence of Ag, Cu dopants on the second and third harmonic response of ZnO films

“…This work is a continuation of our previous work connected with NLO properties in ZnO structures [11,[26][27][28].…”

Transparent amorphous zinc oxide thin films for NLO applications

“…In the last few years several methods, such as: sputtering [1], molecular beam epitaxy [2], metal-organic vapor deposition [3], pulsed laser deposition [4,5], spray pyrolysis [6,7] and sol-gel process [8][9][10] have been applied for thin films of zinc oxide depositing. In comparison to other methods, sol-gel has some evident advantages, i.e.…”

Photoluminescence study of pure and Li-doped ZnO thin films grown by sol–gel technique

“…It is found that doping ZnO with Li [11][12][13] or Al [14] leads to the yellow luminescence. Other dopants, including Mg [15], W [16], V [16], Eu [17] and Er [18], have been also investigated. Synthesizing ZnO nanoparticles [19] or dispersing them in a foreign matrix such as SiO 2 [20,21], MgF 2 [22] and BaTiO 3 [23] represents another endeavor to modify the visible emissions of ZnO.…”
