ZnO:Ni powders are prepared by forced hydrolysis method. The samples were investigated by using XRD, SEM and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The intensity of near band gap photoluminescence as a function of doping concentration and temperature was studied. The researching results show the doping concentration of Ni strongly affected the luminescence in the UV spectral region and reveal application potential of ZnO:Ni material in optoelectronic and magneto-optical devices of UV range. |
