摘要
ZnO@mesoporous silica nanocomposite was prepared by the impregnation of a CMI-1 material in a Zn(NO3)(2) solution followed by calcination under O-2. Intensive characterization was carried out by N-2 adsorption-desorption measurements, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The optical properties of the ZnO@mesoporous silica nanocomposite were studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy. Quantum Size Effect was firstly demonstrated by subjecting the sample to a 254 nm excitation light, and was further confirmed by using a 680 nm excitation laser beam, which implies a two-photon absorption process. By focusing the 680 nm laser beam on different places in the sample, a very localized random laser effect, also induced by a two-photon absorption process, was detected. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
