ABSTRACT
Zinc oxide, cadimium oxide and their composites were synthesized in this research using sol-gel
method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, to investigate their optical properties using UV-visible,
photoluminenscence (PL) spectroscopy, which showed red shift behavior in the ZnO manner enhanced
by addition of CdO which noticed through calculations of energy gap.
