“…Average crystallite size of all samples is shown in Table 1. From Table 1, FWHM value of all samples indicated that they have a good crystal quality of hexagonal structure, especially S3_TF that has smallest value of β compared to other samples [18]. Furthermore, average crystallite sizes of these films are proportional with the oxidation temperatures.…”

In this work, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods structure in the form of thin film have been grown on soda-lime glass (SLG) substrate incorporating two simple steps. Firstly, ZnO seed layer was pre-deposited onto the SLG substrate by the thermal evaporation method. During this process, the oxidation temperatures were varied in the range of 450 oC to 650 oC annealed for 3 hours. Then, the nanorods structure were grown on the surface of the seed layer by sol-gel immersion method with the use of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) in deionized (DI) water. The optical, structural and morphological properties at different oxidation temperatures were studied using UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field-enhanced Scanning Electron Microscopy (FeSEM). The surface morphology results revealed the formation of hexagonal shaped ZnO on top of the seed layer as a result of heterogeneous nucleation. X-ray diffraction results show that the c-axis orientation became more prominent while the optical band gap of ZnO thin films decreases from 3.31 eV to 3.14 eV as the annealing temperature increased respectively. It is shown that the size and alignment of ZnO NRs are greatly affected by the pre-deposition annealed temperature of the ZnO seed layer on the surface of SLG substrate.

New heteroleptic complexes of zinc were designed and synthesized using aminoalkoxide and β-diketonate ligands. The complexes, [Zn(dmamp)(tmhd)] 2 (1), [Zn(dmamp)(acac)] 2 (2), [Zn(dmamp)(hfac)] 2 (3), [Zn(dmamb)(tmhd)] 2 (4), [Zn-(dmamb)(acac)] 2 (5), and [Zn(dmamb)(hfac)] 2 (6), were synthesized by controlled acid-base reactions between [EtZn (aminoalkoxide)] 2 and β-diketonate ligands. Single crystal x-ray diffraction showed that complexes 1 À 4 and 6 exist as dimeric molecular structures with the zinc metal centers interconnected by the alkoxy oxygen atom via μ 2 -O bonding and their gemetries exhibit distorted trigonal bipyrimidal. TGA curves of complexes 3 and 6 showed sharp weight losses in a single step with very low residues, which confirmed the excellent vaporization and thermal stability.
