Abstract

We have synthesised CuO quantum dots by using a method of one-step solid state reaction under ambient conditions, and investigated them by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman scattering technique. The XRD shows that the sample is composed of single phase CuO with a monoclinic structure. The particle size estimated from the x-ray diffraction peaks is about 12 nm, consistent with the TEM result. The Raman spectra show that there are three Raman peaks at 282, 332 and 618 cm−1, which are much broader and shifted several cm−l to lower frequencies in comparison with those of bulk CuO crystal. The temperature dependence of the Raman spectra in the range 77–873 K is also presented.
