Investigation of Structural Dielectric Electrical and Magnetic Characteristics of Some Oxides Modified ZnO

Abstract

newline Multifunctional ceramic materials are the prospective candidates for driving future technological revolution. They are named so, as a single ceramic material can newlinefulfil/accomplish multiple functions such as electrical, electronic, optical, magnetic, newlinemicrowave, etc. Because of these materials the system performance gets enhanced as well as in lessening the redundancy between subsystem materials and their functions. Mutifunctional materials may be magneto electronic materials or pentatonic devices (simultaneous charge and spin of an electron), multiferroic materials (simultaneous newlineferromagnetic and ferroelectric property), magnetic probes (magnetostrictive and piezoelectric) and shape memory alloys (ferromagnetic and ferroelastic). There is a possibility of a large number of combinations of material properties from a single field as well as across multiple fields. ZnO and its related oxides are one such multifunctional newlinematerial. ZnO belongs to II-VI wideband gap oxide semiconductor and crystallizes in the wurtzite crystal structure. ZnO is polar dielectric having a strong piezoelectric response, newlineis optically transparent, has high exciton energy, and most importantly, can be grown
