Abstract

ZnO:Mg nanocomposite formation by two-step laser ablation in deionized water is analyzed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis were employed to obtain infrared spectra, crystalline structures, optical absorption spectra, morphology and spatial composition of the prepared nanocomposite. The FTIR result shows that bonds at $\sim$ $\sim$ 480cm $^{- 1}$ $^{- 1}$ and 900cm $^{- 1}$ $^{- 1}$ correspond to Zn–O and Mg–O stretching modes. The XRD pattern observed the hexagonal wurtzite of ZnMgO phase at $2 θ = 34.3 1^{\circ}$ $2 θ = 34.3 1^{\circ}$ and 34.76 $^{\circ}$ $^{\circ}$ . SEM image shows a flower-like hierarchical structure with a full array about 2 $μ$ $μ$ m. The absorption spectra demonstrate that a band gap of nanocomposite increases as the Mg content increases.
