Well-organization of nano-sized zeolite crystals into uniformly oriented monolayers or multilayers on various substrates can be used as host materials for semiconductor clusters from 1 to 10 nm in diameter to generate specific electronic and optical properties. High-quality nano TMA-A zeolite crystals were synthesized using a hydrothermal method with a Al(i-pro)3 : 2.2 TEOS : 2.4 TMAOH : 0.3 NaOH : 200H2O composition. The average size of the zeolite crystal used was 130-150 nm with a lattice constant of 2.461 nm. The self-assembly mono- and multilayers of zeolite oriented with faces parallel to the glass substrates showed only the planes in the forms {h 0 0} with triethoxysilane as covalent linkages. Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the initial materials and the products obtained.
