Description
Summary:The present commentary connected with the errors and mistakes made in the structural and morphological properties of Nd3+ doped ZnS thin films by nebulizer spray pyrolysis. •Numerous errors and mis-interpretations were found in the article.•The miller indices claiming c-axis orientation is not correct.•Variation in the unit cell parameters are wrongly attributed to the increased doping concentrations.
