It is a new and original item, which is linked to some interesting properties of binary and ternary semiconducting compounds (i.e. oxides).

The main three bases of the Lattice Compatibility Theory (LCT) are:

- A host Lattice with defined structure and patterns (atoms, shape, parameters…)i. e. Zno...

- A doping element (Mn, V, Yb, Co….)

- A complex behavior of the doping element (quantified in terms of some parameters ( Urbach energy, Vickers hardness, optothermal expansivity, Faraday effect , band gap…)

In fact,the Lattice Compatibility Theory (LCT) tries to give an explanation to the unexpected Urbach tailing associated to some phenomena which occur in some nano-compounds lattices, it was first formulated as:

               “The stability of incorporated agents inside host structures

                is favorized trough geometrical compatibility, expressed in

                terms of matching patterns between introduced agent

                intrinsic lattice and those of the host”.

Any expert in the field is invited to provide data (transmittance/reflectance spectra/bandgap/hardness etc. ) on similar materials (SnxSy, SxOy Snx, ZnSy SexSy ,BTO, BSO, BGO, TCO, InxSy , Zn-S-O- …binary/ternary doped or undoped compounds, metal oxides..) focusing on the following scheme :

- A host Lattice (that is fully mastered )

- A doping element

- A deep knowledge of the way the doping element stabilizes or not within the host Lattice ( in terms of any parameters)
