Magnetic transport properties in Ti(1-x)Co(x)O(2) and Zn(1-x)Co(x)O magnetic semiconductors have been studied experimentally and theoretically. A linear relation of lnρ versus T(-1/2) (ρ is sheet resistance and T is temperature), which shows different slopes and intersections at different magnetic fields, was observed experimentally in the low temperature range. The spin-dependent variable range hopping model has been proposed by taking into account the electron-electron Coulomb interaction and the spin-spin exchange interaction in the same frame, which can well describe the observed magnetic transport properties in Ti(1-x)Co(x)O(2) and Zn(1-x)Co(x)O magnetic semiconductors.

Dielectric properties and impedance spectroscopic studies of single phase Zn1- xCoxO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) ceramics, synthesized by a pressure-less solid state reaction method, have been carried out to investigate the origin of colossal dielectric permittivity (CP), ε' ∼ 105, in a wide frequency (2 × 101-2 × 106 Hz) range. These results show that a defect density within the grain is present in the materials due to the use of pressure-less sintering at high temperature for a long duration of time.

This paper investigates the electronic structure of wurtzite (W) and rock-salt (RS) Zn1-xCoxO nanoparticles (NPs) by means of optical measurements under pressure (up to 25 GPa), X-ray absorption, and transmission electron microscopy. W-NPs were chemically synthesized at ambient conditions and RS-NPs were obtained by pressure-induced transformation of W-NPs. In contrast to the abrupt phase transition in W-Zn1-xCoxO as thin film or single crystal, occurring sharply at about 9 GPa, spectroscopic signatures of tetrahedral Co(2+) are observed in NPs from ambient pressure to about 17 GPa.

Tetrapod-shaped ZnO nanocrystals exhibit exceptional optoelectronic properties, including intense ultraviolet photoluminescence emission, that make them attractive for applications that include lasers, sensors, and photocatalysts. However, synthetic methods that produce ZnO tetrapods typically include high-temperature vapor-deposition approaches that do not readily achieve characteristic dimensions of less than 100 nm or colloidal methods that require added metal dopants, which modify the inherent properties of ZnO. Here, we report a robust, modified solution-phase synthetic protocol for generating colloidal ZnO tetrapods that does not require the use of metal dopants.

We have successfully synthesized large-scale aggregative flowerlike Zn1-xCo(x)O (0.0 < or = x < or = 0.07) nanostructures, consisting of many branches of nanorods at different orientations with diameter within 100-150 nm (tip diameter approximately 50 nm) and length of approximately 1 microm.
