The influence of temperature on the structure of Cd-doped ZnO nanopowders

Doping and annealing effects on ZnO:Cd thin films by sol–gel method

“…As the deposition temperature decreased, the average transmittance decreased accompanied by a shift of absorption edge to the longer wavelength, which was mainly attributed to the change of Cd/Zn ratio. Mahmoud et al [18] reported the influence of temperature on the structure of Cd-doped ZnO nanopowders prepared by the sol-gel method. The structure of ZnO:Cd nanopowder was changed from binary mixture to a single hexagonal phase when the annealing temperature increased above 400 • C.…”

Synthesis and optical properties of Ce-doped ZnO hexagonal nanoplatelets

“…Moreover, due to its superior conducting properties, ZnO has also been investigated as a transparent conducting and piezoelectric material for use as electrodes, catalysts and sensors [12][13][14]. Recently, various doped ZnO nanostructures with different elements have been achieved to improve the electrical, optical and magnetic properties [15][16][17][18].…”

Growth of highly transparent CdxZn1−xO (CZO) thin films: Structural and optical studies

“…Caglar et al [20] reported the influence of Cd content on morphological, optical and electrical properties. Mahmoud et al [21] reported the influence of temperature on the structure of Cd doped ZnO nanopowders prepared by sol gel method. Pillai et al [22] has studied the annealing temperature dependent modification on the band gap and grain size of Cd doped ZnO thin films.…”
