The method used for synthesizing Zinc oxide nanoparticles is chemical precipitation method. The crystalline nature of the prepared sample is found by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The Presence of chemical elements Zn, O, Ni is investigated by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX). The formation of flower and cluster shaped structure were identified by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The functional groups present in the nanoparticles were observed by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The band gap energy was calculated by Ultraviolet studies (UV) in the range as 3.53 and 3.66 eV. The magnetic nature present in Nickel doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were mainly used for Spintronics applications.

The Presence of chemical elements Zn, O, Ni is investigated by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX). The formation of flower and cluster shaped structure were identified by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The functional groups present in the nanoparticles were observed by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The band gap energy was calculated by Ultraviolet studies (UV) in the range as 3.53 and 3.66 eV. The magnetic nature present in Nickel doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were mainly used for Spintronics applications.
