Structural and optical study of ZnO-TiO2 nanocomposites

Abstract

Nanocomposites of ZnO-TiO2 were synthesized by using zinc chloride, titanium tetrachloride, ethanol and benzyl alcohol and diethyl ether by using Sol-Gel technique. Crystalline nature of the prepared material was analyzed using XRD study. Band gap of the material found at 3.05eV. In the PL spectra, the peak giving emission is found at 430nm and at 615nm. To confirm the ferromagnetic ordering, the VSM study was done. Morphology study was carried out with SEM images.
