Calculation of ZnO nanoparticle size distribution based on EPR line shape analysis

摘要

Quantum confinement of the shallow-donor electron wave function in ZnO nanoparticles is used to study nanocrystal samples by means of High-Frequency EPR. A method for deriving nanoparticle size distribution in the sample from the EPR line shape of the shallow donor is developed based on dependence of the shallow donor g-factor on nanoparticle size.
