摘要：

In this paper we have introduced a simple method for the fabrication of aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) nanoparticles. The Zn1-xAlxO nanoparticles with different concentrations of Al (x=0.01. 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12) were fabricated successfully by this method. The samples were analyzed by the use of several techniques such as SEM, EDX, XRD, PL and UV-vis spectroscopy. The SEM images showed that the fabricated nanoparticles had spherical shapes. The XRD patterns of the samples indicated that the Al atoms substituted in the Zn positions in the crystal lattice of ZnO and there were some changes in the lattice parameters. A blue shift in the lambda(max) of the absorption and a red shift in the lambda(max) of the emission were observed. The results also indicated that the amount of shifts had a direct relationship with the changes in the lattice parameters. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
