Thermal annealing-induced formation of ZnO nanoparticles: Minimum strain and stress ameliorate preferred c-axis orientation and crystal-growth properties
Nanocrystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been deposited on glass substrates using a sonicated sol-gel dip-coating technique at various thermal annealing (Ta) temperatures. The Ta temperature was varied to range from 300 to 600 °C in intervals of 50 °C in an open atmosphere. To obtain desirab...
