| Title | Study of Physical Properties of Zinc Ferrite and Zinc Oxide including Laser Irradiation Effects |
| Abstract | The present thesis work is devoted to the study of physical properties of zinc ferrite and zinc oxide nanomaterials with the effects of laser irradiation on them. Chapter-1 gives the introduction of the work on ZF and ZnO nanomaterials including their synthesis via chemical and green route and lattice structures that has already been reported. This chapter also provides the highlights on the motivation behind the alteration of physical properties of ZF and ZnO nanomaterials using laser irradiations. Chapter-2 focuses on the literature survey of synthesis processes and the analysis of the effects of laser irradiation on various physical properties of ZF and ZnO nanomaterials like structural, morphological, optical, dielectric and magnetic are discussed. Chapter-3 gives the details of sol-gel autocombustion method used for the synthesis of ZF and ZnO nanomaterials via chemical and green route. It also covers the details of preparation of pellets from ZF and ZnO nanomaterials and briefly gives the details of laser systems used for irradiation purpose on both these materials. Different characterization techniques namely S-XRD, FE-SEM, EDX spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, UV-Vis DRS, FTIR spectroscopy, SQUID-VSM, PL spectroscopy and dielectric measurement are discussed. Chapter-4 is dedicated to the detailed analysis of structural, morphological, dielectric, and magnetic measurements of ZF and ZnO nanomaterials synthesized via chemical and green route and the effects of laser irradiation on these properties of the materials are discussed. Application of ZnO nanomaterial synthesized via green route in methylene blue dye degradation is also explored in this chapter. Chapter-5 gives the concluding remarks on the research work carried out in the thesis and highlights the future scope of the work in this direction. |
