Unraveling the effect of Gd doping on the structural, optical, and magnetic properties of ZnO based diluted magnetic semiconductor nanorods.

The structural, magnetic, and optical properties of the pristine and Gd-doped ZnO nanorods (NRs), prepared by facile thermal decomposition, have been studied using a combination of experimental and density functional theory (DFT) with Hubbard U correction approaches. The XRD patterns demonstrate the... View More
