Abstract
ZnO thin films have been prepared by the dip coating sol gel method. Zinc acetate dihydrate, 2-methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine (MEA) were used as precursor, solvent and stabilizer respectively. The synthesized sample was coated on glass substrate as the molarity of the solution was kept constant at 0.1 M. The structural properties and surface morphologies of ZnO thin film were characterized by XRD and FESEM. The optical properties such as transmittance, absorbance, reflectance and refractive index were studied by using UV-Vis. The functional group of the synthesized sample were verified by using FTIR. Average crystallite sizes of the samples were calculated by using Debye-Scherrer's formula. Next, ZnO is coated on POF in order to examine the reaction towards UV light.
