    Abstract:
    Optical properties of Ca doped ZnO nanoparticles prepared at room temperature through wet chemical method have been investigated. X-ray diffraction studies show that particles are crystalline in nature and doping did not induce impurity phases. Optical absorption measurements show an absorption peak at ∼372 nm which is due to excitonic absorption of the ZnO. Photoluminescence studies reveal a broad emission at an excitation wavelength of 335 nm and the bands are attributed to near band edge emission, oxygen vacancies, surface dangling bonds and zinc interstitials. Incorporating Ca(2+) induces reduction in near band edge emission and there is an enhancement in the oxygen vacancy peaks which are attributed to the shape changes in the nanoparticles.
