In this paper, Temperature induced stress dependent structural, optical and photoluminescence properties of nanoscrysllites ZnO (nc-ZnO) films are reported. It is seen that crystallite size, band gap and PL intensity of nc-ZnO are strongly dependent on stress. Large compressive stress has been observed at temperature 350-400 °C while minimum stress obtained at temperature 450 °C. A small amount of expensive stress is obtained at temperature 500 and 500 °C. The surface topography of the nc-ZnO films has been studied using atomic force microscopy. The optical band gap of nc-ZnO has been decreased from 3.25 to 3.23 eV as a function of temperature induced stress. The luminescence property is dependent on stress of nc-ZnO films. |
