Abstract
This study reports a synthesis by the sol–gel method of stable and size-controlled ZnO quantum dots (QDs) embedded into a SiO2 matrix in the diameter range of 2.7–5.5 nm with strong visible emission in the blue-green region. X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction techniques evidence a wurtzite structure of the prepared ZnO QDs. Transmission electron microscopy investigation highlights that the ZnO nanoparticles produced in...
