研究目的
Investigating the effect of synthesis temperature on the structural, optical, and magnetic properties of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by the combustion method.
研究成果
ZnO nanoparticles synthesized at different temperatures exhibit hexagonal wurtzite structure, spherical shape, and size-dependent properties. The band gap decreases with increasing synthesis temperature. The nanoparticles show ferromagnetic behavior, with the magnetization decreasing as the synthesis temperature increases. ZnO synthesized at 500 °C has a large squareness ratio, making it a potential candidate for memory devices in spintronics.
研究不足
The study is limited to the synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles at different temperatures. The potential applications in memory devices and spintronics are suggested but not explored in depth.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized at different temperatures (400 °C, 450 °C, 500 °C, and 550 °C) using the combustion method. The properties of the nanoparticles were characterized using XRD, FESEM, EDS, TEM, PL, Raman, DRS, and VSM techniques.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Zinc nitrate and urea were used as precursors. The samples were prepared by dissolving these chemicals in water, adjusting the pH to 9 with ammonium hydroxide, and adding PEG as a capping agent.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
X-ray diffractometer (RINT2000), FESEM, TEM, UV visible spectrometer, PerkinElmer Horiba spectrometer, vibration sample magnetometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The mixed solution was kept at different combustion temperatures for 1 h, then annealed at 600 °C for 1 h. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized using various techniques.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The grain size was calculated using Debye-Scherrer’s formula. The optical band gap was determined from DRS measurements. Magnetic properties were analyzed from VSM measurements.
