23. The size of the ZnO nanocrystals was determined with x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The degree of polydispersity was obtained from TEM size histograms; (Formula presented) of the nanocrystals have a size within (Formula presented) of the mean diameter. Optically transparent films were deposited by spin coating the suspension on ITO/glass or gold/glass substrates, followed by drying at (Formula presented) in air for 15 min. A previous scanning electron microscopy study has shown that the films are homogeneous
