Preparation and Study of Indium Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract

In this study, In2O3 was prepared by reaction of indium acetate as precursor. The physical properties of the film were characterized by XRD, SEM, AFM, UV–visible thin film and FTIR spectroscopy measurements. The complete vibration analysis was carried out and the optimized parameters are calculated using DFT (B3LYP) method with 3-21G basis set for In2O3. A study of the electronic properties; absorption wavelengths, band gap energy, dipole moment, Kubo gap (HOMO and LUMO) and frontier molecular orbital energies, are performed by DFT method.
