摘要
As synthesized mer-Alq(3) powder, obtained by wet chemical synthesis, has been subjected to different new characterization techniques such as Energy Dispersive X-ray, Cathodoluminescence and Scanning Electron Microscopy in order to identify their structural and photophysical properties. Other common techniques like X-ray diffraction, Raman and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy have been involved in order to prove the formation of mer-Alq(3) compound. The vibrational spectroscopic properties were interpreted by using the output files from Gaussian software with B3YLP functionals and 6-311(d) basic sets. The growth kinetic of mer-Alq(3) nanocrystals in the alpha-phase has been evaluated by using the finite-size effects based on the Raman position peaks and their linewidths, which confirms the semiconductor character of the mer-Alq(3) compound. The XRD results suggest that the isothermal annealing increases the mer-Alq(3) nanocrystals, which modify the regular shape of typical spectral parameters from Raman peaks. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
