Structural Optical properties of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nano Particles

Abstract

Nano structured Zinc oxide (ZnO)materials have many applications in optics and photonics.ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized at room temperature by co-precipitation method.The structural properties of prepared powder is characterized by powder x-ray diffraction(XRD) , morphology is investigated using SEM.The evaluated average size of prepared powder was 16nm.The strain and dislocation density were also calculated using XRD studies.The SEM image shows the Stone-like morphology of the nanopowder, optical properties were also studied.
