Description
Summary:	We report here the synthesis of Cu and Fe doped ZnO nano-particles. Cu and Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized and structurally, optically and morphologically characterized using X-ray diffractometer, optical spectroscope and scanning electron microscope. The crystal size is in the range of 15–20 nm for both the Cu and Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are not below the critical size where quantum confinement effect is observed. ZnO has hexagonal, wurtzite structure. Synthesis was carried out at 60 °C. The light orange and gray color powder of Cu and Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles were obtained.
