Mn-doped ZnO thin films were prepared on SiO2substrates by using a radio-frequency(rf) magnetron sputtering in order to investigate structure and optical proprieties of the films. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic force microscope (AFM) and UV-VIS spectrophotometry were employed to characterize the Mn-doped ZnO films. The results showed that the shape of the XRD spectrum was remarkably similar to that of the un-doped ZnO film; the film had mainly (002) peak, and indicate that the structure of the films was not disturbed by Mn-doped. The film had rather flat surfaces with the peak-to-tail roughness of about 25nm. Mn-doping changed the band gap of the films, which increased with the increase of the Mn content.

Microscopy Characterization

Synthetic nanographenes have been self-assembled from solution on the surface of nanometric channels of an alumina membrane template. By controlling the interplay between intermolecular and interfacial interactions, the molecules have been adsorbed either ‘face-on’ or ‘edge-on’ on the pore's surfaces, leading to the formation of columnar stacks in the latter case. Upon thermal treatment at high temperature, the molecular cross-linking of the columns has been triggered, transforming the delicate supramolecular arrangement into robust carbon nanotubes, with the graphitic planes at predetermined orientations with respect to the tube axis. Scanning force microscopy characterization of single nanotubes deposited from suspensions on mica showed that the nanotubes can self-assemble on flat surfaces adopting preferential alignments which reflect the threefold symmetry of the mica substrate. Kelvin probe force microscopy studies revealed that the nanotubes possess a surface potential much smaller than the work function of both graphite and conventional vacuum-processed nanotubes, providing evidence for their more confined electronic structure.
