Irradiation of ZnO thin films with H+ and Ar+ ions decreased the optical band gap, indicating shifts in electronic properties.
Ion irradiation changed the film morphology, transitioning particle shapes from spherical to flake-like post-treatment.
X-ray diffraction revealed polycrystalline structure with preferential orientation along the c-axis of ZnO, confirming structural integrity.
The average crystallite size diminished after ion irradiation, highlighting the effects of quantum confinement in the modified films.
