Experimental and first-principles DFT studies on the band gap behaviours of microsized and nanosized Zn(1−x)MnxO materials

In this study, nano- and microsized zinc oxide (ZnO) materials were doped with different manganese (Mn) contents (1–5 mol%) via a simple sol–gel method. The structural, morphological, optical and chemical environments of the materials were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission s...
