In the present study, nanocrystalline undoped and Fe (5 wt.%) doped ZnO powder has been synthesized by soft chemical route. The structural, nano/microstructural, vibrational and magnetic properties of these samples have been studied as a function of calcination temperature (400 °C to 1100 °C). X-ray diffraction analysis of Fe doped ZnO powder has shown the major nanocrystalline wurtzite (ZnO) phase and the minor cubic spinel-like secondary nanocrystalline phase at 700 °C. At calcination temperature of 700 °C, the magnetization and coercivity have been enhanced in Fe doped ZnO. As the calcination temperature increased to 1100 °C, the major phase of ZnO and minor cubic spinel-like secondary phase turned into bulk in doped ZnO. Interestingly, the reduced magnetization and zero coercivity have been observed in this case. These changes are attributed to the conversion of secondary nanocrystalline ferromagnetic spinel phase to its bulk paramagnetic phase. The degree of inversion i.e. the occupancy of both sites with different symmetry by ferric ions is proposed to be solely responsible for the unusual behavior.

We explore the interrelationships between the X-ray diffraction patterns, the photoluminescence spectra and the positron lifetimes obtained from circular pellets composed of commercial ZnO nanoparticles. The experimental results are studied as a function of thermal treatment at different temperatures. X-ray diffractograms reveal the temperature- independent wurtzite phase structure of nanocrystals and show huge enlargement of ZnO grains after annealing at temperatures higher than 700 centigrade. Photoluminescence measurements exhibit two emission bands : a near band edge emission in UV (small tilde 378 nm) and a defect-related broad visible peak with a maximum in the green region ( small tilde 502 nm). The significant enhancement of the green emission at the expense of UV luminescence is observed after sample sintering at 800 and 1000 centigrade. The positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is applied in order to study the thermally induced evolution of defects. The lifetime components show a step-like dependence on the thermal treatment, but do not follow exactly the variation in crystallographic phases and only vaguely follow differences in photoluminescence. The positron data indicate therefore some additional structural and/or defect changes. The possible origin of green luminescence from ZnO pellets is discussed.
