Gradient bandgap narrowing in severely deformed ZnO nanoparticles

Gradient nanostructured metallic materials with a gradual change of grain boundary and dislocation density display unprecedent mechanical properties. Herein, we uncover a gradient of point defects concentration and concomitant gradient bandgap (Eg) narrowing in metal oxide nanoparticles processed by...
