Abstract
        ZnO thin film was deposited using sol-gel spin coating method on Quartz substrate. Zinc acetatedihydrate was used as precursor. ZnO nanorods were grown in powder form by thermal evaporation of Zincacetatedihydrate. The structural study of the samples was done by X-ray diffraction.Charcteristic peaks and lattice constants were verified. SEM image confirm the synthesis of ZnO nanowires. Photoluminescence of ZnO nanowire showed strong UV emission as compared to ZnO film.
