MgxZn1-xO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) nanoparticles were synthesized by direct thermal decomposition of Zn and Mg acetates in air at 500 ºC. As revealed by SEM, pure ZnO sample consisted of nanorods, wheras MgxZn1-xO samples became nanoparticles. The Eg increased from 3.13 to 3.22 eV with increasing Mg concentration. The PL spectra of all the samples showed a strong UV emission, a weak blue, a weak blue-green, and a weak green bands, indicating their high structure and optical quality.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
