It is observed that on aluminium doping the particle size of ZnO reduces significantly; moreover, uniformity of particle also gets enhanced. Their XRD study reveals that intensity ratio of crystal planes depend on the aluminium doping concentration. The gas response studies of; similar to 800 nm thick Al-doped ZnO films at different operating temperatures show that 5 at% Al-doped ZnO thin film exhibits highest response towards H(2)S gas at 200 degrees C. The results suggest that the gas response strongly depends on the particle size and aluminium doping in the ZnO. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
