Enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ce-doped ZnO nanorods under UV and visible light
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of cerium ion doping on the photocatalytic activity of ZnO photocatalyst was investigated by combining the diffuse reflectance spectra, photoelectrochemical scanning electrochemical microscopy (PEC-SECM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis.

Sol–gel synthesis of ZnO transparent and conductive films: A critical approach
TL;DR: In this article, the main aspects of the sol-gel synthesis of ZnO thin films were critically examined with particular reference to the optimization of the process parameters that influence specific properties of the films, such as the transparency, the crystallization behavior and the electrical resistivity.

Optical Properties and Electronic Structure of Amorphous Germanium
Jan Tauc,R. Grigorovici,A. Vancu +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the optical constants of amorphous Ge were determined for the photon energies from 0.08 to 1.6 eV, and the absorption is due to k-conserving transitions of holes between the valence bands as in p-type crystals.

ZnO - nanostructures, defects, and devices
TL;DR: ZnO has received much attention over the past few years because it has a wide range of properties that depend on doping, including a range of conductivity from metallic to insulating (including n-type and p-type conductivity), high transparency, piezoelectricity, widebandgap semiconductivity, room-temperature ferromagnetism, and huge magneto-optic and chemical-sensing effects.
