Enhancement of weak ferromagnetism, exotic structure prediction and diverse electronic properties in holmium substituted multiferroic bismuth ferrite

Abstract

Bismuth ferrite (BFO, BiFeO3), exhibiting both ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties at room temperature, is one of the most researched multiferroic materials with a growing number of technological applications. In the...

Cation exchange doping by transition and non-transition metals: embracing luminescence for band gap tunability in a ZnS lattice

“…2 The density of states and electrical band structure of pure zinc. 18 Fig. 3 (A) PL emission of ZnS QDs, 24 (B) TEM and SAED images of pure ZnS, 25 and (C) ZnS XRD patterns at three different pH levels.…”

“…This is particularly important for creating p-type (hole-conductive) or n-type (electron-conductive) semiconductors, which are essential for electronic devices. 17,18 2. Color centers and luminescence: transition elements can create color centers in the ZnS lattice, leading to luminescence properties.…”
