Induced p-type semiconductivity in Mg-doped Nd2Zr2O7 pyrochlore system

Heterovalent B-site MgO substitution in the Nd2Zr2O7-system (Nd2Zr2−xMgxO7−x) has been explored. The pyrochlores were synthesized by a polymeric sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy to determine structure, phase composition...
