Abstract

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are synthesized by hydrothermal method. Then the prepared samples are characterized by various structural and surface morphological studies such as XRD, Raman, PL and UV-Visible. In the XRD measurement , characteristics peaks are observed at an angle of 31.5o, 34.34o, 36o, 47.4o, 56.54o, 62.68o and 67.76o which corresponds to (100), (002), (101), (102), (110), (103) and (112), plane respectively. In the Raman spectroscopy, The E2 (High) mode and E1 (LO) mode are observed at 437cm-1 and 578cm−1, respectively. The UV–visible absorption and Photoluminescence (PL) measurements are performed at room temperature and sample exhibit characteristics UV band at around 395 nm.
