The Effect of Rare Earth (RE) Metal Doping of Zno, On Magnetic and Optical Properties of Zno Crystals Structure
Abstract: The magnetic and optical properties of magnetic semiconductors relays on the crystal structure, type and amount of dopant ions, and particle size. Then, the effect of rare earth metal (Dy, Eu, and La) doping on crystal structures, magnetic properties and optical properties are seen. It is revealed that the optical band gap of ZnO decrease down from 3.37eV up on doping with RE metals. Then, the Hamiltonian of the system …

A Review of Thermal Spray Coatings
Abstract: Thermal spray coatings are applied on surface of metals to improve their functional properties. Thermal spray technique offers the possibility to deposit wide range of ceramic coatings on metallic components. In the present paper we discuss the various types of coatings deposited using thermal spray techniques. The effect of rare earth metal oxides on microstructure and mechanical properties of the coatings are being discussed.

Role of Solid Acid Catalyst in Isopropylation Reaction
Abstract: Cumene synthesis was carried out by the reaction of benzene with isopropyl alcohol in the vapour phase over rare earth metal modified 13X zeolite. Zeolite modification was done by exchanging sodium ions of the zeolite with cerium ions to vary the acidity of the catalyst in the range of 0.25‑1.36 meq/g. The synthesis was carried out over a wide range of operating conditions. The synthesis conditions were optimized by studying …

Thermally Responsive Electroluminescence in ZnS: Mn Phosphors: Experimental Insights
Abstract: ZnS: Mn phosphors and thin film technologies have been used to create alternative current thin film light emitters. Establishing a precise model for these devices becomes challenging because they rely on frameworks that have a definitive effect on the final product, such as the size of the molecules used, the phosphor fabrication process, and the doping concentration, the purity of ZnS, the device structure, and so forth. The ZnS: Mn …

Luminescent Phenomena and Materials: Fundamentals, Developments, and Multidisciplinary Applications
Abstract: Luminescence, defined as the emission of light without significant heat generation, represents a fundamental phenomenon bridging physics, chemistry, materials science, and biotechnology. Over the centuries, the understanding of luminescence has evolved from simple observational curiosity to a sophisticated quantum-mechanical framework describing electronic transitions in atoms, molecules, and solids. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the historical development, fundamental mechanisms, classifications, and material systems associated with luminescence. It places particular …
