Abstract

ZnO nanoparticle was successfully prepared by microwave irradiation method in various oxygen/nitrogen ratio atmospheres. The product prepared in a low oxygen ratio atmosphere showed tetra pod shape with high aspect ratio, c/a. PL spectra of the products showed higher UV emission intensity than the others when it was prepared in the atmosphere oxygen/nitrogen=40/60.
