	abstract = {<p>Copper indium diselenide (CIS) thin films have been deposited using a precursor solution containing copper sulphate, indium trichoride, hydrazine hydrate and sodium selenosulphate in an aqueous alkaline medium at room temperature. The as grown brown colored films were found to be well adherent to glass substrates. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, optical absorption, electrical resistivity, and thermo electric measurement techniques. The analysis of optical absorption data shows band-gap energy (E-g) to be 1.1 eV. The electrical resistivity of the thin film was found to be of the order of 10(2) (Omega cm). Thermoelectric power measurement shows n-type conduction. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>In the present study we have synthesized flower-like ZnO nanostructures comprising of nanobelts of 20 nm width by template and surfactant free low-temperature (4 degrees C) aqueous solution route. The ZnO nanostructures exhibit flower-like morphology, having crystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure with (001) orientation. The flowers with size between 600 and 700 nm consist of ZnO units having crystallite size of similar to 40 nm. Chemical and structural characterization reveals a significant role of precursor: ligand molar ratio, pH, and temperature in the formation of single-step flower-like ZnO at low temperature. Plausible growth mechanism for the formation of flower-like structure has been discussed in detail. Photoluminescence studies confirm formation of ZnO with the defects in crystal structure. The flower-like ZnO nanostructures exhibit enhanced photochemical degradation of methylene blue (MB) with the increased concentration of ligand, indicating attribution of structural features in the photocatalytic properties.
