The experimental results in size dependence of electronic structure and optical band gap show that the nanocrystalline ZnO has two binding states which energies are lower than that of the bulk ZnO. This size dependence of binding states is associated with the number of broken bonds of the individual Zn ion, which could be modified by size reduction in nanoscale. Varying the number of broken bonds on the surface and the underneath layer might result in possible complications in the electronic structure of the nanocrystalline ZnO, thus giving rise to different optical properties rather than those relating to quantum size effects.
