Abstract

Nanocrystallines ZnAl2O4 particles with a spinel structure were prepared by hydrothermal method. XRD analysis shows the high quality of spinel grains constituting the powder. The morphological structure of the resulting powders was examined by SEM, and the micrographs reveal the formation of soft agglomerates composed of nanometric scale particles. The AFM data for ZnAl2O4 show uniform surface without any valleys..
