Successful synthesis of Cu, Co co-doped ZnO film is obtained by sol-gel method. The structural and electrical properties of the sample were investigated. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy analyses indicate that the Co and Cu co-doping can not disturb the structure of ZnO. No additional peaks are observed in the Zn0.99Co0.01CuxO and Cu+ and Co2+ substitute for Zn2+ without changing the wurtzite structure. By Hall-effect measurement p-type conductivity was observed for the Cu co-doped film. XPS result confirmed Cu ions are univalent in the films.
Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with the formula of Sr1−x(Li,Ce)x/2(Na0.5Bi0.5)Bi4Ti5O18 (LCSNBT-x, x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4), were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method.
