Thermal annealing and dopant dependence of nonlinear absorption characteristics in ZnO Nanoparticle/PMMA films
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of doping and annealing on linear and nonlinear optical properties of ZnO/PMMA nanocomposite films was investigated, and the structural results showed that the incorporation of Cr and Sb dopant to the ZNO crystal lattice led to decreasing of the crystallite sizes from 30.3 to 24.4 nm due to the increasing of the number of defect states inside the energy band gap.

Influence of grain size, surface energy, and deviatoric stress on the pressure-induced phase transition of ZnO and AlN
TL;DR: In this article, the surface energy of the B4 phase relative to the B1 phase was determined for aluminum nitride (AlN) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystals, and it was shown that it is possible to synthesize pure B1 AlN to ambient conditions if the grain size is less than 8.5
