Abstract

Rare earth metal Lanthanum doped ZnO nanoparticles are synthesized by using hydrothermal method. The products are characterized by X-Ray powder Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy. The optical properties of the product are studied. Luminescence property is enhanced for the doped ZnO nanoparticles.

Keywords
