A simple wet-chemical synthesis method was developed to fabricate Zinc oxide micro-rod clusters. The synthesis process involved the rapid dilution of a zinc-bearing alkaline solution at 150°C in a convection oven on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. The synthesis was carried out by immersing an unseeded ITO substrate in a mixture of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O) and hexamethylenetetramine ((CH2)6N4) aqueous solution. The obtained sample was annealed at 400°C for 2 h. The structural, morphological and optical properties of the synthesized ZnO microstructures were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, respectively. The ZnO rod clusters are hexagonal phase of the wurtzite structure. The crystal grain sizes of the films were found to be 72.6, 84.3 and 66.3 nm for the (100), (002) and (101) crystal planes, respectively. The optical bandgap of the ZnO was determined to be 3.147 eV.

In the present work a modified polymeric precursor route is applied for the preparation of La1-xSrxGa0.8Mg0.2O3-δ (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3). Citric acid and ethylene glycol are used as chelating and complexing agents respectively and microwave heating is used for the preparation of the precursors. The sintering reactions are recorded using TG/DTG measurements, while XRD, FTIR and SEM are used for the characterization of the intermediate and final products. As it is concluded, pure La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3 can be prepared after sintering at 1300 °C for 6h. As the doping level of Sr increases, the formation of single phase perovskite is hindered. La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3 contains minor amounts of SrLaGa3O7, while single-phase La0.7Sr0.3Ga0.8Mg0.2O3 can not be prepared at all. In all cases, the intermediate products at lower temperatures are mainly SrLaGa3O7, SrLaGaO4, La4Ga2O7 and La carbonates.

There is a substantial amount of literature dealing with many aspects of synthesis and characterization of pure and doped binary compounds including Mn-doped ZnO which has been widely studied due to its superb properties as a dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS). Aspects concerning doping limits for these compounds is an important stage in the search for new materials. Samples of Zn1-xMnxO nanocrystal were synthesized at temperatures of 180 °C and 200 °C using wet or liquid phase synthesis method. Dopant concentrations x=0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 per cent were studied. Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of the samples were analyzed with a view to determining the onset of secondary phases and hence the solubility limit of the dopant. The solubility limit for Mn in ZnO samples synthesized at temperature of 200 °C is realized at x <20%. For samples synthesized at temperature of 180 °C, the solubility limit is x <0.5%.
