Zn1 Co1 O2

Zn₁Co₁O₂ is a mixed-metal oxide semiconductor combining zinc and cobalt in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio, belonging to the family of spinel or layered oxide semiconductors with potential for tunable electronic and magnetic properties. This material is primarily of research interest for next-generation optoelectronic and spintronic devices, where the cobalt dopant in zinc oxide can enable ferromagnetism or enhance charge carrier control; it is notably studied as an alternative to pure ZnO when magnetic functionality or modified band structure is required for specific applications.
