Incorporating silver in ZnO has attracted a lot of interest in recent years to fabricate p-type ZnO, as the naturally occurring ZnO is n-type material due to its native defects such as zinc interstitials and oxygen vacancies. In this work, the structural, electronic, and optical properties of pure and Ag-doped (8, 0)…

A methodology for the reduction of the residual flux in network transformers is proposed in this paper. The purpose is the mitigation of large inrush currents taken by numerous transformers when a long feeder is energized. Time-domain simulations are used to prove that a small-power device can substantially reduce the…

The formation of single-layer graphene by exposure of a Ni(111) surface to ethylene at low pressure has been investigated. Two different growth regimes were found. At temperatures between 480 and 650 °C, graphene grows on a pure Ni(111) surface in the absence of a carbide. Below 480 °C, graphene growth competes with t…
