Abstract
⺠ZrO2 thin films were deposited on quartz substrates by sol-gel method. ⺠Control of grain size with sol concentration. ⺠Microstructure studies showed a change in growth mode from vertical to lateral mode. ⺠The optical band gap decreased with increase in grain size and sol concentration. ⺠Dependence of photoluminescence on particle size leads to tailoring emission colour.
