Abstract

A facile sol gel method was adopted for the synthesis of Ce co-doped Sr–Mn–ZnO nanoparticles. The effect of incorporation Ce ions on the structural and magnetic properties of the CSMZO has been characterized by different characterization technique. The XRD and HRTEM/HRSEM show high crystallinity degree of the CSMZO thin films. The analysis using FTIR, UV-vis and VSM reveal that the nanocomposites showed well-behaved absorption bands and well magnetic behavior at room temperature. Correspondingly, the synthesized nanocomposites exhibited good antibacterial and antifungal activity.
