Structural and optical properties of colloidal InZnO NPs prepared by laser ablation in liquid

In the current work, colloidal of InZnO NPs were produced by pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) method. The effect of indium content on the structural, morphological and optical of the InZnO NPs was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy. The FTIR spectra showed the presence of the metal-oxide bond. The SEM exhibit different morphological aspects according to the (In/Zn) ratio. The optical transmittance of InZnO NPs has high value around 70 % in the visible region and the band gap value was varied between 3.29 to 3.25 eV. (paper)
