Herein we study point defects and correlation to photoluminescence in ZnO nanorod. ZnO mirco/nanorod structure was successfully fabricated by co-precipitation method with highly homogeneous characteristics. When ion Mn+2 introduced into ZnO structure, the d-spacing distance of ZnO was increased from 0.248 nm to 0.295 nm due to the larger ionic radius of Mn2+ in comparison to Zn2+. The photoluminescence emission evolution of ZnO through doping and annealing processes hinted the relation of point defect transformations. We found that zinc interstitial, zinc vacancy and its related defects were responsible mainly for photoluminescence emission in annealing and/or Mn2+ doped samples.

ABSTRACTAn overview of the behavior of intrinsic point defects in silicon and their interaction with carbon is given for temperatures above about 500° C. The diffusive mechanism of carbon in silicon, which involves silicon self-interstitials, is treated in some detail and compared with the diffusion mechanism of oxygen. The solubility of interstitial carbon is estimated. Co-precipitation of carbon and self-interstitials or oxygen are dealt with in terms of simple volume considerations. It is proposed that the contradicting results on the influence of intrinsic point defect supersaturations on oxygen nucleation and precipitation may possibly be explained in the frame-work of opposite effects depending on the carbon concentration. Finally the influence of carbon on the incorporation and diffusion of gold in silicon is discussed.

In this paper, the dielectric properties of ZnO-Bi2O3 based varistor ceramics doped with Li are investigated by Novocontrol wide band dielectric spectrometer. It is found that Lithium is an amphoteric impurity. If the content of Lithium is very low, It will enters into the interstitials and Lithium interstitial is formed as a donor. While with the increase of Lithium content, Zn is replaced with Li and Lithium substitution for Zinc as a acceptor is formed. If the content of Lithium increases further, Lithium interstitial is formed again with the redundant Lithium. Therefore, the concentrations of intrinsic point defects of Zinc interstitial and oxygen vacancy varies with the content of Lithium, which leads to the increase of Schottky barrier at grainboundary with Lithium.

It is necessary to improve the resolution, brightness and signal-to-noise ratio(s/n) for the detection and identification of point defects in crystals. In order to observe point defects, multi-beam dark-field imaging is one of the useful methods. Though this method can improve resolution and brightness compared with dark-field imaging by diffuse scattering, the problem of s/n still exists. In order to improve the exposure time due to the low intensity of the dark-field image and the low resolution, we discuss in this paper the bright-field high-resolution image and the corresponding subtracted image with reference to a changing noise level, and examine the possibility for in-situ observation, identification and detection of the movement of a point defect produced in the early stage of damage process by high energy electron bombardment.The high-resolution image contrast of a silicon single crystal in the [10] orientation containing a triple divacancy cluster is calculated using the Cowley-Moodie dynamical theory and for a changing gaussian noise level. This divacancy model was deduced from experimental results obtained by electron spin resonance. The calculation condition was for the lMeV Berkeley ARM operated at 800KeV.

Single crystalline nano-sized multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) powders were synthesized through simple chemical co-precipitation method using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as capping agent. We obtained pure phase BiFeO3 powder by controlling pHand calcination temperature. From X-ray diffraction studies the nanoparticles were unambiguously identified to have a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure belonging to the space group of R3c. No secondary phases were detected. It indicates single phase structure. EDX spectra indicated the appearance of three elements Bi, Fe, O in 1:1:3. From the UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum, the absorption cut-off wavelength of the BFO sample is around 558nm corresponding to the energy band gap of 2.2 eV. The size (60-70 nm) and morphology of the nanoparticles have been analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).   Linear M−H behaviour and slight hysteresis at lower magnetic field is observed for BiFeO3 nanoparticles from Vibrating sample magnetometer studies. It indicates weak ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature. From dielectric studies, the conductivity value is calculated from the relation s = L/RbA Sm-1 and it is around 7.2 x 10-9 S/m.

Nanotechnology is a field of applied science focused on design, synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials. The nickel and magnesium have improved their applications in transparent electrodes and nano electronics. In addition, magnesium oxide has moisture resistance and high melting point properties. In the present work has been carried out in the development of green crystalline powder of nickel doped magnesium oxide nanoparticles by Co-precipitation method, from the mixture of nickel chloride and magnesium chloride with KOH as solvent. From the XRD results, crystalline size of the particle can be observed. Spherical structure of Ni doped MgO nanoparticles were indicated by SEM results and powdered composition of samples were obtained from FTIR. EDAX represents the peak composition of the nanoparticle. The above analytical techniques have confirmed that the Ni doped MgO nanoparticles obtained from the mixture of NiCl2 and MgCl2.

Preventing diseases is deemed to be the major goal of our century especially when an excessive fluoride in drinking water can cause dental fluorosis, bone stiffness, rheumatism and skeletal fluorosis. Fluoride uptake from groundwater implies a worldwide multidisciplinary effort in order to develop renewable, cheap, human friendly materials. Among other materials, hydrotalcites could be good candidates for an efficient fluoride removal from water due to their adsorption, anion exchange and reconstruction properties. These nanostructured materials were synthesized using co-precipitation method in controlled conditions. Presence of anions in the interlayer structure and morphological aspects were performed by FTIR and SEM techniques. Thermal treatment of hydrotalcites showed good adsorption capacities for water defluoridation mostly due to their tendency to restore the original structure.
