Synthesis and structural characterization of gallium oxide powders
R. Yuvakkumar, D. Sidharth, G. Ravi, S.I. Hong
A potential green synthesis of β-Ga2O3 powders has been achieved employing the gallium-ellagate complex formation method. A possible mechanism has been proposed to understand the formation of gallium-ellagate complex formation. The effect of reaction time, incubation and calcination temperature on the product output was explored. The structure and crystalline phase of β-Ga2O3 powders were revealed from the X-ray diffraction and from photo luminescence, Raman and IR spectroscopy. The structural characterization revealed the monoclinic phase of Ga2O3 with preferential growth along (111).
