Exploring AC Conductivity and Microstructure of Iron-Vanadium Doped Systems

Abstract

The present work focuses on the impact of partial substitution of ZnO (former) by various other oxides in the microstructure and AC conductivity of newly developed amorphous semiconducting systems containing two transition metal ions such as vanadium and iron. The current materials may be significantly helpful in specialized applications like high-power lasers for their high refractive indices. An insightful study of the composition-dependent microstructure and electrical transport behavior with various former-modifier ratios is of great interest, not only from an application perspective but also for academic purposes.
