The paper presents an analysis of SEM, EDX, Raman scattering, and FTIR of Gadolinium-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes obtained by hydrothermal method. The morphological characteristics of the materials were studied and their compositions were analyzed. Hydrothermal doping of MWCNs with Gd causes the formation of 3D network architecture and sharply increases the content of oxygen surface functionality. An unidentified intense broad peak for Gd-doped material at 2940 cm-1 was observed. The defect state of Gd-doped MWCNTs was studied by Raman spectroscopy.

This paper discusses the use of semiconductor solar cells based on thin-film cadmium telluride (CdTe) in modern energy production. The advantages and disadvantages of using CdTe thin-film solar cells are analyzed, and arguments are presented in favor of the implementation of mass production technologies for CdTe solar modules, which can compete with silicon analogs in terms of compromise between efficiency and cost. The physical and chemical properties of the binary Cd-Te system are described, and the relationship between the physical, chemical, electrical, and optical properties of CdTe is analyzed, making it attractive for use in thin-film solar cells. Special attention is given to the investigation of photovoltaic properties, which are important parameters for determining photoconductivity, and the advantages and disadvantages of CdTe film photovoltaic properties are discussed. CdTe thin-film heterostructures (HSs), which are important components of modern solar cells, are considered, and their main advantages and disadvantages are described. It is argued that simple methods of manufacturing and forming HSs, which do not require complex and expensive equipment, are an important advantage of CdTe-based solar cell technology.

In the presented article the method of determining the energy spectrum, the wave function of the charge carrier and the crystal potential in CdTe at an arbitrarily given temperature is considered. Using this approach within the framework of the supercell method the temperature dependences of the ionization energies of various types of defects caused by the introduction of chlorine and copper impurities in cadmium telluride are calculated. Also the offered method allows to define the temperature dependence of the optical and acoustic deformation potentials and as well as the dependence on the temperature the charge carrier’s scattering parameters on ionized impurities, polar optical, piezooptic and piezoacoustic phonons. Within the framework of short-range scattering models the temperature dependences of the charge carrier’s mobility and Hall factor are considered.

The adsorption of Sr(II) cations by Boron-doped TiO2 was investigated. The adsorbent samples were obtained by liquid-phase sol-gel method using the aqua complex precursor [Ті(ОН2)6]3+‧3Cl- and modifying reagent hydrogen borate Н3ВО3. It was found, that single-phase rutile titanium dioxide or two-phase anatase-rutile oxide materials were formed under the different initial ratios of components. Boron atoms are combined with Oxygen atoms into triangular structural cell ВО3 in the rutile sample 0.5В-ТіО2 and are localized in the surface layer of the nanoparticle material as a grouping =О2ВОН. The introduction of Boron atoms into the structure of the rutile adsorbent causes an increase in its adsorption capacity for the binding of Sr(II) cations in the aqueous electrolyte. The maximal adsorption values for Sr(II) cations by the rutile adsorbent in a neutral electrolyte environment reach 102.3 mg‧g-1, while it is equal to 68.8 mg‧g-1 for the unmodified anatase adsorbent a-TiO2. The number of acid adsorption centers ≡ТіОНδ+ on the surface of the rutile adsorbent 0.5В-ТіО2 is ~ 50 units on a surface area of 10 nm2, which is twice the number of centers on the surface of the anatase adsorbent a- ТіО2. Anatase-rutile adsorbents 1.0В-ТіО2 and 1.5В-ТіО2 contain, respectively, 70% and 57% of the anatase phase. They are significantly inferior in adsorption ability toward cations of Sr(II) compared with the rutile adsorbent 0.5В-ТіО2. This is because Boron atoms are mainly localized in the anatase phase and with oxygen atoms form tetrahedral groups of ВО4-.

The magnetic properties of the amorphous Co57Fe5Ni10Si11B17 alloy have been studied by a vibrating sample magnetometer. The temperature dependence of saturation magnetization was measured and the Curie point and crystallization onset temperature were determined as 560 K and 760 K respectively. The coercive force was obtained as 200 A/m and saturation magnetization - 65 Am2 /kg. The alloy was produced in the form of a ribbon thickness of 30 µm using the melt spinning method, and its internal amorphous structure was examined by the X-ray diffraction method. The crystallization behavior of the alloy was studied using series of isothermal annealing of the samples of the alloy at temperatures in the range of 723-1023 K for different exposures (up to 240 minutes) and nanocrystalline phases were detected by the X-ray diffraction analysis.

The solid-state Cd0.75X0.25Te (X= Cu, Ag, and Au) solutions crystallize in the cubic structure and are studied in the framework of density functional theory. The theoretical first-principle calculations of the electronic band structure, density of states, and refractive index of solid-state Cd0.75X0.25Te (X= Cu, Ag, and Au) solutions are estimated by the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). A Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof functional (PBE) was utilized. Formation energy is calculated based on the results of the total energy of the study samples. The effective mass of the electrons and holes was calculated based on the electronic band structure. The influence of atom substitution on electron conductivity and mobility is discussed. To study the optical properties was use a complex dielectric function ε(ħω). The spectral behaviour of the refractive index was calculated based on the dielectric function.

The structural, electrokinetic, energetic, and magnetic properties of the new semiconductive solid solution Lu1-xVxNiSb, х=0–0.10, were studied. It was shown that V atoms could simultaneously occupy different crystallographic positions in different ratios, generating structural defects of acceptor and donor nature. This creates corresponding acceptor and donor bands in the bandgap εg of Lu1-xVxNiSb. The mechanism of the formation of two acceptor bands with different depths of occurrence has been established: a small acceptor band εА2, formed by defects due to the substitution of Ni atoms by V ones in the 4c position, and band εА1, generated by vacancies in the LuNiSb structure. The ratio of the concentrations of generated defects determines the position of the Fermi level εF and the conduction mechanisms. The investigated solid solution Lu1-xVxNiSb is a promising thermoelectric material.

Lead tin telluride solid solutions are excellent candidates for the p-type conduction legs of the thermoelectric generator modules. The investigation of their microstructure properties is an important issue, that can effectively modify their electronic and thermal transport properties. In this work, we show the experimental dependences of the Pb1-xSnxTe component distribution, which were identified as periodic nanostructures with an amplitude of λ ≈ 50-500 nm. The observed periodicity is explained by the generation and recombination of point defects due to diffusion processes during the synthesis, sintering, and annealing of samples. A model describing the formation of such inhomogeneities in Pb1-xSnxTe ternary alloys during isothermal annealing is proposed.

In this study, Mn(x)Zn(1-x)Fe2O4 ferrite samples with x=0.4 and 0.6 were synthesized using a solid-state method and co-precipitation method. In order to determine the effects of various concentrations (x) on the ferrite's structure, particle size, and crystalline phases, prepared samples were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD patterns revealed that the synthesized samples display a single-phase cubic spinel structure.FTIR analysis showed for both synthesis method have absorption band in the range 400 to 1000 cm-1.SEM analysis shows extreme homogeneity of all the samples. EDX analysis was used to examine for Mn0.4Zn0.6Fe204,The prepared ferrites powders contain Mn, Zn, and Fe, as shown in both synthesis methods.In this approach, alternative synthesis routes for these ferrites are suggested in this study in order to get around some limitations of the traditional preparation method.
