ZnO micro/nanocrystals are formed by a vapor transport method. Mixtures of ZnO and TiO powders are used as the source materials. The TiO powder acts as a reducing agent to reduce the ZnO to Zn and plays an important role in the formation of ZnO micro/nanocrystals. The vapor transport process is carried out in air at atmospheric pressure. When the weight ratios of TiO to ZnO in the source material are lower than 1:2, no ZnO micro/nanocrystals are formed. However, when the ratios of TiO to ZnO in the source material are greater than 1:1, the ZnO crystals with one-dimensional wire morphology are formed. In the room temperature cathodoluminescence spectra of all the products, a strong ultraviolet emission centered at 380 nm is observed. As the ratio of TiO to ZnO in the source material increases from 1:2 to 1:1, the intensity ratio of ultraviolet to visible emission increases, suggesting that the crystallinity of the ZnO crystals is improved. Only the ultraviolet emission is observed for the ZnO crystals prepared using the source material with a TiO/ZnO ratio of 2:1.

The purpose of present study is to find the structure crystallization mechanism and physical properties in $TiO_2$ containing lead zinc borosilicate glass system. The experiments such as differential thermal analysis infrared spectral analysis. X-ray diffraction analysis and thermal expansion measurements have been done. Differential thermal analysis of coarse and fine glass powder showed bulk nucleating mechanism for high $TiO_2$ containing glasses and surface nucleation mechanism for low $TiO_2$ containing glasses. The prepared glasses crystallized to crystalline mixture of PbO.2ZnO. $B_2O_3$ .4PbO.2ZnO.$5B_2O_3$and 2PbO.ZnO.$B_2O_3$ when heat-treated in the range of 480 and 51$0^{\circ}C$ and crystallized to PbTiO3 when heat-treated at $600^{\circ}C$. Obtained crystalline phase of $PbTiO_3$ in glass matrix strongly affects to thermal expansion coefficient and the value of crystallized glass varied 68.0 to $107.1{\times}10-7$/$^{\circ}C$ depending on the amount of $TiO_2$added. Infrared spectral analysis showed that [$BO_3$] triangle and [$BO_3$] tetrahedral units were coexisted in the glass with high content of PbO.
