Structural, optical and magnetic properties of sol–gel derived ZnO:Co diluted magnetic semiconductor nanocrystals: an EXAFS study
Shiv Kumar,Saibal Basu,Bivas Rana,Anjan Barman,Sandip Chatterjee,Shambhu Nath Jha,Debnath Bhattacharyya,N.K. Sahoo,Anup K. Ghosh +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of Co-doping on absorption spectra and hence on the band gap was investigated. But the results were limited to the case of Zn1−xCoxO nanoparticles.

Strain-Induced Modification of Optical Selection Rules in Lanthanide-Based Upconverting Nanoparticles
Michael D. Wisser,Maverick Chea,Yu Lin,Di Wu,Wendy L. Mao,Wendy L. Mao,Alberto Salleo,Jennifer A. Dionne +7 more
TL;DR: This work uses pressure-induced lattice distortion to systematically modify both upconversion efficiency and lattice geometry and provides a promising approach to modifying the quantum efficiency of any lanthanide upconverter.

Strain induced phase formation, microstructural evolution and bandgap narrowing in strained TiO2 nanocrystals grown by ball milling
Gone Rajender,P. K. Giri +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the anomalous strain evolution, phase change and band gap narrowing in TiO 2 nanocrystals (NCs) as a result of ball milling was investigated. And the authors showed that the band gap of NCs reduces with increasing strain and lowest band gap achieved in strained TiO2 is 2.71 eV.

The influence of noble metals on photocatalytic activity of ZnO for Congo red degradation
Nuray Güy,Mahmut Özacar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, noble metals were separately doped on ZnO nano photocatalysts by borohydride reduction method, and the as-prepared gold nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrography (ICP-OES), ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance/absorbance spectrographic (DRS).
