Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO Nanoparticles and Nanorods: Beginning with nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is now associated with all the branches of research in science due to its ability to provide materials with new and amendable properties. We start the book with the general ideas in nanotechnology and present here the synthesis of ZnO nano-materials of two different morphologies prepared by very simple methods and their characterization by various different methods like Absorption spectroscopy, Fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Internal architectures of these instruments are also given which we think required to understand the outcomes. This book can be much helpful for those who are starting with the research in the field of nanotechnology.
