Multifaceted properties of Ni and Zn codoped MgO nanoparticles.

Recent advancements in material science have aimed to create novel nanomaterials with unique properties and potential applications across diverse domains. By deciphering the complexities of the versatile nanomaterial, MgO, the study aims to deepen our comprehension of the synergistic effects induced by dual doping in MgO, thus propelling the advancement of innovative technologies and materials with broad applications. The present investigation employed a facile chemical precipitation and coprecipitation approach to synthesize pure MgO and Ni, Zn dual doped MgO, varying Ni concentration ranging between 2% and 10% and maintaining a constant Zn concentration at 20%.

Sulphanilamide degradation by undoped and copper doped ZnO, and ferromagnetic properties of fresh, aged, and heat-treated aged ZnO.

This work looks into how well Cu-doped zinc oxide works as a photocatalyst when exposed to visible light to break down sulphanilamide. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD and then FTIR techniques for structural besides compositional analysis. The approximate value of bandgap found out by NBE values of PL spectra showed a decrease in bandgap with doping.

Phase change material-based tunable Fano resonant optical coatings and their applications.

Thin-film coatings offer a scalable optical platform, as compared to nanopatterned films, for various applications including structural coloring, photovoltaics, and sensing. Recently, Fano resonant optical coatings (FROCs) have gained attention. FROCs consist of coupled thin film nanocavities composed of a broadband and a narrowband optical absorber.

Dual-Phase Singularity at a Single Incident Angle with Spectral Tunability in Tamm Cavities.

The phase singularity, a sudden phase change occurring at the reflection zero is widely explored using various nanophotonic systems such as metamaterials and thin film cavities. Typically, these systems exhibit a single reflection zero with a phase singularity at a specific incident angle, particularly at larger angles of incidence (>50 degrees). However, achieving multiple phase singularities at a single incident angle remains a formidable challenge.
