Synthesis, Characterization and Electrical Properties of Znte Nanoparticles

摘要

ZnTe nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical synthesis method, which is basedon the chemical replacement reaction between the chemical compounds. Structuralanalysis of ZnTe nanoparticles has been performed by using x-ray diffraction techniques.It has been found that the average particle size is 2.6 nm using uv-vis spectroscopy. DCand AC electrical conductivities of ZnTe nanoparticles have been studied. Conductionmechanism is described in brief. The activation energies have also been determined. Theresults indicate that ZnTe behaves as a semiconducting material.
