Zinc oxide future applications

Finally, special reference is made to application methods, composition and structure, physical properties, and corrosion and oxidation resistance of aluminum, chromium, and zinc diffusion coatings. Suggestions are made for future studies on the deposition and performance of diffusion coatings on iron and steel substrates. 

Tlie plienomenon of half-metallicity has gained much interest in order to understand the unusual band structures in various classes of materials and their potential applications in future electronic devices. For example, zinc blend pnictides and chalcogenides e.g. CrAs) are another class of non-oxide materials (apart from Heuslers) in addition to the many oxide classes that are potentially half-metallic materials. Alkali metal doped rare earth oxomanganates, (REi- A MnOs), rutile-Cr02, spinel-Fe304 and Sr2peMo06 double perovskite oxide are examples of important half-metallic oxides.
