Raman spectroscopic study of ZnO/NiO nanocomposites based on spatial correlation model.

ABSTRACT: The effect of nickel concentration has been investigated in ZnO/NiO nanocomposites synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The X-ray diffraction and TEM measurements confirm the distinct phase of NiO in the ZnO/NiO samples. Furthermore, the Raman study shows the sharp modes at 99 cm^-1 and 438 cm^-1 corresponding to E^(low) ₂, E^(high) ₂ of hexagonal wurtzite ZnO structure and, 1080 cm^-1 associated to the two-phonon (2P) mode of NiO, respectively. We also compared the effect of Ni concentration on the formation of ZnO/NiO by analyzing E^high ₂ Raman mode of ZnO with the help of spatial correlation model. The correlation lengths, broadening and asymmetry ratio obtained from the fitting showe
