Abstract

Green technique has been employed to synthesize the transition metals-based metal oxides quaternary alloys nanoparticles. The structural properties are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine structural parameters and crystallite size. XRD peaks index numbers and intensities are varied with the atomic number. The study of morphology for the mentioned quaternary alloys nanoparticles is analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to measure the grain size. The optical properties are investigated via ultra violet visible (UV-vis) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to reveal the changing of absorption, transmission, reflection and bandgap as the atomic number changes for verifying optical dielectric constant and refractive index models. The obtained results suggest the mentioned quaternary alloys nanoparticles are very suitable for potential application in antibacterial treatment.
