A series of Eu-doped ZnO films were prepared by a sol-gel method. Precursor and films were characterized by thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV-vis spectra, as well as the magnetism measurement. The wurtzite structure of obtained films presents an extreme high c-orientation character. The film susceptibility resembles a Curie-Weiss behavior at high temperature, and presents an obvious enhancement at low temperature, indicating the presence of antiferromagnetic interactions in the Zn0.9Eu0.1O films.
The erythrocyte-like magnesium hydroxide microspheres were synthesized in large scale through a simple solution phase route. The structures and morphologies of the products were analyzed by the X-ray diffractometer (XRD),scanning electron microscope (SEM),transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The possible growth mechanism of the nanostructure was discussed briefly and the potential application was proposed.
