Abstract

Nanostructured film of zinc oxide with wurtzite crystal structure was successfully synthesized using sol-gel spin-coating technique with zinc acetate as a precursor material and PEG as surfactant. The size of the crystals in the film was found to decrease with annealing temperature and time. An average crystal diagonal length of less than 100 nm was achieved at 500oC for 30 and 60 minutes. The clustering of the crystals observed can be associated to the heterogeneous nucleation of the crystals.
