Abstract

The Cr3+-doped cadmium oxide nanopowder is prepared at room temperature by a mild and simple solution method. The prepared powder is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) techniques. The XRD powder pattern reveals the lattice structure and cell parameters are evaluated. The SEM image shows the stone-like morphology of the nanopowder. The optical absorption spectrum indicates the distorted octahedral site symmetry of Cr3+ ions. The crystal field Dq and interelectronic repulsion parameters B and C are evaluated. The EPR spectrum gives a resonance signal at g = 1.973 for Cr3+ ions. The FT-IR spectrum reveals the characteristic vibrations of cadmium oxide.
