摘要

We report here the evolution of zinc based high purity phases with novel morphologies such as Zn 3 N 2 hollow structures, ZnO nanowires and nanopowders, as well as metallic Zn layered hexagonal microparticles at progressively increased reaction temperature of 600 °C, 700 °C, 800 °C under NH 3 gas atmosphere using Zn powder precursor and keeping all other experimental parameters unchanged. Growth mechanism for Zn 3 N 2 obtained by nitridation, ZnO by oxidation and Zn microparticles via thermal evaporation & condensation process are discussed briefly. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Photoluminescence (PL) studies have revealed very interesting and infrequently observed emission bands at 378 and 661 nm for Zn 3 N 2 , 359 and 396 nm for ZnO as well as 389 nm for Zn polyhedral microparticles.
