Abstract
ZnO doped with 2 wt% of Sb2O3 is prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The prepared samples were sintered at 800, 900, 950 and 1000 oC temperatures. X-ray diffraction peaks for ZnO doped with Sb2O3 shows a small shift (∼0.12°) towards lower 2θ angle as compared with pure ZnO. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with EDS is carried out to study the surface morphology as well as to find the elemental composition of the prepared samples. The modes at 334.4 cm-1 and 438.4 cm-1 in the Raman spectrum are assigned as E2 (high)–E2 (low), and E2 (high) modes of ZnO base, respectively. When doping ion occupies the Zn sites, lattice or intrinsic host-lattice defects are activated, leading to additional vibration mode at 716.8 cm-1
