This work demonstrates seed-like ZnO nanostructure aggregated with nano-entities using the colloid chemical method. The formation mechanism and optical properties of the ZnO nanostructure are studied. The X-ray diffraction spectrum indicates that the ZnO nanostructures are polycrystalline pure wurtzite phase. Multiphonon processes in the nanostructure are identified from the Raman scattering spectra in the spectral range of 300-2000 cm −1 . A strong violet photoluminescence band emission was visible in the room temperature photoluminescence spectra. This work determines the quality of such crystals and extends the optical applications of ZnO nanostructures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
