We report here the study by optical microspectroscopy of crystalline ZnO nanoparticles produced by room-temperature organometallic synthesis. We present resonant Raman scattering spectrum obtained from different sized nanostructures from which the longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon frequency has been found to be very weakly dependent on their size. Low-temperature photoluminescence measurements reveal that (i) the band-edge PL of ZnO nanoparticles is dominated by weakly bound localized exciton, and that (ii) its energy does not exhibit any spatial confinement effect. These results enlighten the need for surface passivation of the nanoparticles to improve their UV emission potential.
