I have prepared ZnO which are characterized by XRD. But I dont understand whether Sodium doped or not.Because in XRD graph their is no any shift either side.So please suggest me how can I confirm the Na is doped in ZnO
Identification of elemental composition of sample by EDX technique can give you the percentage of each atom in the doped composite
SEM along with EDX provide a clear picture on the morphology and the composition of the composite.
Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS, EDX, or XEDS), sometimes called energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) or energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDXMA), is an analytical technique used for the elemental analysis or chemical characterization of a sample. It relies on an interaction of some source of X-ray excitation and a sample. Its characterization capabilities are due in large part to the fundamental principle that each element has a unique atomic structure allowing unique set of peaks on its X-ray emission spectrum.
