Facile preparation of Nanocrystalline ZnO powder for non-volatile memory application

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this work, synthesis of ZnO nanoparticle by solution method and its application in non-volatile memory is reported. Nanocrystalline ZnO particles were prepared by a novel chemical route using the combination of zinc nitrate [Zn (NO3)2 6H2O] and sodium hydroxide [NaOH] at low temperature. The effects of temperature and bath concentration for the synthesis of ZnO powder have been studied. Synthesized powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectrometer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence. Using the prepared ZnO nanoparticles with organic PMMA; non-volatile memory cells were prepared and studied its switching property.
