Structural characterization of ZnO and ZnO:Mn nanoparticles prepared by reverse micelle method

In this article, zno and zno:mn nanoparticles prepared by reverse micelle method. the various crystalline properties of these nanoparticles such as size, d-spacing, strain, stress, dislocation density and texture coefficient have been calculated with the help of xrd spectrum. the xrd results indicated that the synthesized zno and zno:mn nanoparticles have a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. it can be seen that the highest texture coefficient was in (002) plan for nanoparticles. the optical band gap energy of zno and zno:mn nanoparticles have been analyzed by using uv-vis data. the photoluminescence spectra of the nanoparticles indicated their high structural and optical quality
