Abstract

High resolution transmission electron microscopic images of ZnO:Mn²⁺ nanoparticles, for (a) 10% Mn doping, showing defect free regular atomic arrangement, and (b) 20% Mn doping, irregular lattice planes with significant defects. (c) Digital photograph of liquid suspension of ZnO:Mn²⁺ nanocrystals under UV lamp. (d) MH loop of ZnO:Mn²⁺ nanoparticles.
