Popis: Wet-chemical and electrochemical routes were used to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles showing peculiar luminescent properties. ZnO-I are the nanoparticles that show only band gap ultraviolet (UV) emission, whereas ZnO-II type nanoparticles show the defect green luminescence along with the UV emission. Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra of ZnO-I nanocrystals exhibit a single feature located at about 368 nm whereas ZnO-II nanocrystals show two features in PLE: a prominent feature at about 368 nm which is size dependent and a hump at 325 nm. These results are discussed in detail in view of the luminescence behavior in ZnO quantum particles.
