Optical Properties of Co3O4 -Doped ZnO,B2O3,SiO2,Al2O3 Glass System for a Transparent Dielectric Layer

There has been a need to improve color temperature without using asymmetric cell structures using transparent dielectric layers with variation of Co3O4 contents in plasma display panel (PDP). In this study, ZnO,B2O3,SiO2,Al2O3 glasses with variations of the Co3O4 content (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt%) were fabricated and the optical properties of these glasses were characterized. As the content of Co3O4 increased, the transmittance of the red region (from 580 to 780 nm) decreased more than of the blue region (from 380 to 500 nm). This change of transmittance induced the transition of the coordination of the color temperature toward the blue region. Therefore, the addition of 2 wt% Co3O4 can improve the color temperature from 6087 to 7378 K and the result was confirmed using simulation. [source]


Inner Electrodes for Multilayer Varistors

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY, Issue 2 2009
Shu-Ting Kuo
In the present study, Pt or AgPd metal is used as the inner electrode for Bi2O3 -doped ZnO multilayer varistors (MLV). The growth of the ZnO grains is constrained by the presence of the inner electrodes. The Pt inner electrodes are chemically inert to Bi2O3 -doped ZnO. The Bi2O3 could react with Pd to form PdBi2O4. The Bi2O3 -rich liquid also tends to wet the AgPd electrode. The size of ZnO grains in the MLV/AgPd specimen is larger. The ZnO grains in the MLV/AgPd specimen can even grow to a size larger than the layer thickness at the expense of electrode continuity. [source]


Ferromagnetism in epitaxial Zn0.95Co0.05O films grown on ZnO and Al2O3

Abstract In this article, the possible mechanisms resulting in strong ferromagnetic coupling in transition metal(TM)-doped ZnO and other diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are reviewed and the prerequisites for the observation of room temperature ferromagnetism in TM-doped ZnO are defined. In order to study the ferromagnetic behavior we have grown epitaxial Zn0.95Co0.05O films simultaneously on (0001) ZnO and Al2O3 substrates by laser molecular beam epitaxy at different deposition temperatures. A systematic study of the structural and magnetic properties has been performed to reveal their interdependence. Room temperature ferromagnetism has been found in Zn0.95Co0.05O films grown on ZnO, whereas for films deposited on sapphire only weak ferromagnetic signals have been detected which could not unambiguously be separated from those of the substrate. The different behavior is explained by different structural properties and defect densities in both films. Our experimental findings are in good agreement with a spin split impurity band model, where strong ferromagnetic exchange in ZnO:Co2+ is obtained by a strong hybridization between the magnetic Co2+ ion states and the donor states due to a large density of native defects.

Characterization of pyramidal inversion boundaries in Sb2O3 -doped ZnO by using electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD)

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION A, Issue 3 2007
Chan Park
The composition planes of the inversion boundary induced by the addition of Sb2O3 to ZnO ceramics were analyzed crystallographically by the application of electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis and stereographic projection techniques. The inversion boundary was determined to consist of three discrete composition planes, , , . [source]
