Abstract

Semiconductors are very interesting and attractive class of material due to its wide applications in electronic, optoelectronic and energy conversion devices. Energy band gap and characteristic features of both valence and conduction bands determine unique and novel electronic and optical properties of semiconductors. The physical properties of semiconductor can be easily tuned by reduction of size to nanometer scale, changing morphology and also by doping with appropriate elements. The research work will be focused on preparation of nano scale semiconductor by colloidal synthesis and characterization of these samples by optical and electrical studies. Photophysical properties of nanocomposite are also studied like H2 generation from water, pollutant dye degradation and carcinogenic Cr(VI) reduction from water under irradiation of solar simulator light. In following section a brief outline of optical and electrical properties in nano scale semiconductors are discussed.
