Characterization, Optical and Impedance Study of ZnSe Nanostructure

Abstract:

Zinc selenide nanoparticle has been synthesized using soft chemical routes. The particles were capped using 2-mercaptoethanol to achieve the stability and avoid the coalescence. The as-obtained particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–VIS absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The impedance studies were carried out as a function of frequency (100 Hz–1 MHz) and temperature (298–373 K) by impedance spectroscopy. An analysis of the complex impedance (z' and z") with frequency is performed assuming a distribution of relaxation times.
