    In this study, zinc oxide films were fabricated on quartz glass substrate using spin coating technique with 2 molar of zinc oxide in organic solvent as starting materials. The fabricated sample was post-annealed at different temperature from 350 °C to 750 °C for 60 minutes. The energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed that zinc oxide coating film was fabricated on the quartz glass substrate. The crystallography of zinc oxide films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The crystallite size of zinc oxide nanoparticles was determined from the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of XRD peaks using Debye-Scherrer's equation and showed that the zinc oxide films had highly crystalline quality in hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. The morphological property of films was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface morphology of films shows regularly spread all of zinc oxide films. The optical property of various zinc oxide films was measured using UV-Visible spectrophotometer.

    In this work, nanoparticles of copper-doped zinc oxide were synthesized using the precipitation process at different copper doping molars. The structure of the synthesized nanoparticles was examined by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. From the results, it was indicated that the nanoparticles were composed of mixed copper oxide-zinc oxide. To fabricate the humidity sensor, the nanoparticles were dispersed in ethanol and deposited on an electrode using the electrostatic spray deposition technique. The humidity sensing behavior was assessed at various humidity levels in a closed vessel of saturated salt solution. Moreover, the response times for the device were recorded. The Cole-Cole plot of the real and imaginary parts of impedance could be useful for description of the equivalent circuit that indicates the mechanism for humidity sensing behavior.

    In this work, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was prepared by chemical precipitation process. To study the influence of the ascorbic acid on properties of ZnO nanoparticles, the ascorbic acid was added to precursor solution at different molar ratio of ascorbic acid (AA) and zinc during the synthesis process. The characterizations of ZnO nanoparticles were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscope, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The effect of ascorbic acid on the structural properties of ZnO NPs was investigated.

    We reported on the influence of the structural properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on electrical bi-stable device based on an aluminum/poly(9-vinylcarbazole):ZnO NPs/indium-tin oxide structure. ZnO NPs were synthesized by simple precipitation method with different annealing temperatures. When annealing temperature was increased, the ZnO NPs crystallite increased and the ZnO NPs gradually changed shape from nanostar-like to nanospherical. The structural parameters, such as the crystallite size of ZnO NPs and dislocation density, can be calculated from the XRD spectra. The effect of ZnO NPs annealing temperature on memory properties can be measured by current-voltage characteristics and retention time measurements. The maximum ON/OFF current ratio for the memory devices was about 10<sup>3</sup> and the devices exhibited the Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) memory type. The operating mechanisms of the memory device were analyzed using theoretical models, in which electrons trapping in the ZnO NPs and electrons tunneling among a PVK matrix by direct tunneling process were discussed.

    Copper doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Cu doped ZnO NPs) has been prepared by co-precipitation process using zinc nitrate, copper nitrate and potassium hydroxide as zinc, copper and hydroxide precursor, respectively. All of prepared conditions were fixed as the concentration of copper in zinc oxide about atomic percentage at 2%. The prepared powders of Cu doped ZnO NPs were studied with various post-sintering temperature at 500, 600 and 700 °C. All of samples were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The EDX spectra showed the qualitative and quantitative elemental composition of prepared material, meanwhile, XRD peaks represented Cu doped ZnO NPs in hexagonal wurtzite structure. The improvement in crystallinity of Cu doped ZnO NPs could be performed by sintering process. Moreover, the SEM and TEM images showed that the Cu doped ZnO NPs were condensed to the larger particles size by the increase of sintering temperature. Finally, the FT-IR spectra showed a broad absorption band for all of samples.

    In the present work, the precipitation method was used to prepare zinc oxide nanoparticles in the presence of zinc nitrate and potassium hydroxide as zinc precursor and hydroxide precursor, respectively. The influence of annealing temperature on the structural, morphological, and vibrational properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. The effects of annealing temperature on the crystallite size of zinc oxide nanoparticles were investigated. The XRD results represented that the zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibited high crystallinity of hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. The average crystallite size of nanoparticles increased from 25 nm to 31 nm with an increase in annealing temperature from 600°C to 800°C. The SEM images showed that the prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles in this present work were spherical in shape and had the larger size with increasing annealing temperature. FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra confirmed that the quality of Zn-O vibrational mode was stronger at higher annealing temperature.
