Abstract

Strontia nanoparticles are successfully prepared by chemical precipitation method. The SrO nanoparticles are characterized by XRD, UV-DRS and I-V analysis.  X-ray diffraction peaks reveal the single-phase polycrystalline tetragonal structure with preferential orientation along (2 0 2) direction. Influence of annealing temperature strongly induce the growth of peak which indicates the increased intensity of (202) peak. The heat treatment strongly distresses the growth of triplet peaks (002), (101) and (110) whereas the same augment the growth of (202) and (310). Strontium oxide nanoparticles would allow more light for absorption in UV region due to its rough surface whereas the same would allow moderate light absorption in visible region due to its high packing density. The expansion and contraction of Sr-O bonds leads to a high crystalline nature with its purity at 322 nm. It is proposed that strain and surface defects in SrO nanocrystal take place due to different absorption edge.
