We report the experimental observations of the physical properties enhancement for the (Ni-Co)-doped ZnO films under a photodoping mechanism by UV irradiation. The elemental, structural, and morphological properties confirm that the photodoping mechanism in the (Ni-Co)-doped ZnO films is more succes...
