Abstract
We investigated the electrical, magnetic, and magnetotransport properties of Li–Ni codoped ZnO thin films in the electron dominated, hole dominated, and insulating regimes. In a narrow window of oxygen growth pressure, 10−3–10−2 mbar, the films exhibited p-type conductivity with a maximum hole concentration ∼8.2×1017 cm−3. Magnetoresistance exhibited by the films is attributed to scattering of charge carriers due to localized magnetic moments. Insulating films showed superparamagnetic behavior, whereas both n-type and p-type films showed room temperature ferromagnetism. Our findings suggest that oxygen vacancies and Ni ions in cation site are jointly responsible for ferromagnetism that is not dependent on the carrier type.

Oxygen Vacancy Promoted Heterogeneous Fenton-like Degradation of Ofloxacin at pH 3.2-9.0 by Cu Substituted Magnetic Fe3O4@FeOOH Nanocomposite

TL;DR: The new formed oxygen vacancy from in situ Fe substitution by Cu rather than promoted Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle was responsible for the ultraefficiency of Cu doped Fe3O4@FeOOH at neutral and even alkaline pHs.

Antimicrobial Mechanism Based on H2O2 Generation at Oxygen Vacancies in ZnO Crystals

TL;DR: The comparatively detections showed that the antimicrobial activity of ZnO was correlated with its production of H2O2, and the t-ZnO treated in H2, which possessed the most V(O) in its crystal, produced the most H2 O2 and displayed the best antimacterial activity.

Ultralow-Threshold Laser Realized in Zinc Oxide

TL;DR: In this paper, a MgO interlayer is used to confine electrons in the ZnO layer, while holes can pass through the Mg O layer and enter into the n-ZnO from the p-GaN layer.
