Investigation of the structural, optical and electrical characterization of FeO-doped-ZnO nanoparticles
In this letter, FeO-doped ZnO nanoparticles (FeO-ZnO NPs) were synthesized by the chemical method of sol-gel coating on glass substrates, with concentrations of [0%, 3%, 5%]. The properties of the synthesized FeO-doped ZnO NPs films were investigated in terms of their structural, optical and electrical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD), was performed to obtain the crystal structure, crystal growth and chemical composition of the samples. The UV-Vis spectra of the synthesized films show a blue shift in the optical bandgap of the ZnO integrated FeO nanoparticles. The electrical conductivity as a function of temperature of the FeO-doped ZnO-NP films was investigated and found to increase linearly with the inversely applied temperature.
