Defect Mediated Photonic Behavior of ZnO Nanocrystals

Fabrication of nanocrystals using chemical route with capping layers suppressed the surface defects that deteriorate its photonic properties. ZnO nanocrystals of less than 5 nm are fabricated through physical size reduction method and the mediation of defects offer interesting photonic behavior. This photonic behavior is investigated through close correlation between the crystal structure and the defects present in the material. Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction as well as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy have shown interesting results on this nanocrystal ZnO which would enhance our understanding on the origin of its unique photonic behavior.
