In this paper, we report 150 MeV Ag3+ ions irradiation effect on ZnO nanoparticles prepared by sol-gel method.
The fluence kept as 1012 and 1013 ions/cm3 using 15 UD Pelletron accelerator. The pristine as well as irradiated ZnO
nanostructures were characterized by XRD, photoluminescence and FTIR to study the radiation induced effects on the
local structure and optical properties. Irradiation with the fluence changes the colour of the sample from white to yellow.
XRD measurement shows prepared particles are in hexagonal wurtzite structure and irradiation induces significant
change in the lattice parameters. Photoluminescence measurements are done at the excitation wavelength of 335 nm, a
broad spectrum consists near band edge emission and defect related visible emission band. FTIR spectra show a band at
514 cm-1 is due to the stretching vibrations of Zn-O bond.
We report optical properties and X- ray peak broadening analysis of the Na doped ZnO nanostructures. To
prepare Na doped ZnO, simple room temperature wet chemical method is adopted. X ray diffraction pattern shows
prepared particles are in hexagonal wurtzite structure. The individual contributions of small crystallite sizes and lattice
strain to the peak broadening in undoped and Na doped ZnO nanoparticles are studied using Williamson-Hall (W-H)
analysis. Morphological properties are investigated through Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM). Optical absorption
measurements show an exciton absorption peak centred at 360 nm and as the doping concentration increases, exciton
peak maximum shifts towards the higher wavelength. Photoluminescence measurements are carried out by exciting at
335 nm: reveal an exciton peak emission and oxygen vacancy band emissions. From Fourier Transform Infrared
Spectroscopy (FTIR), the band at 433 cm-1 is attributed to Zn-O bond
We report structural and vibrational properties of Mg doped ZnO nanoparticles. Structural studies are
performed by X-ray diffraction technique, confirms that the prepared particles are in hexagonal wurtzite structure and
the lattice parameters changes considerably due to doping. Vibrational properties done with Fourier Transform
Infrared red spectroscopy (FTIR) show a band centered at 427cm-1 corresponds to E1(TO) mode. It is also observed
that the intensity decreases with the increase of Mg concentration, apart from that the surface phonon modes are
appeared at 460 and 521cm-1. Compare to the undoped sample all the normal modes show red shift.
In the present work, we report optical and nonlinear optical properties of Ag - Polyvinyl alcohol polymer films
prepared through a chemical method. Optical absorption measurements show the surface plasmon resonance (SPR)
around 410 nm. The SPR intensity increases with annealing temperature. Open aperture z-scan measurements done using
100 femtosecond laser pulses at 400 nm show an intensity dependent nonlinear light transmission behavior.
Cobalt doped zinc oxide nanostructures were prepared in room temperature through a wet chemical method. X-Ray
diffraction studies confirm that the prepared particles have a hexagonal wurtzite structure. The morphology of the
particles is found from Scanning Electron Microscopy. Optical absorption measurements reveal the presence of an
exciton peak at 375 nm (3.31 eV). Excitation at 330 nm shows photoluminescence arising from exciton recombination
and oxygen vacancies. Open aperture z-scan measurements using 5 ns laser pulses at 532 nm reveal an optical limiting
behavior arising from three-photon absorption, which gets enhanced for higher concentrations of Co.
