This study describe the effect of temperature on the opticalproperties of nickel(ii) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodiumsalt (NiPcTs) organic thin films which are prepared by spin coatingon indium tin oxide (ITO-glass). The optical absorption spectra ofthese thin films are measured. Present studies reveal that the opticalband gap energies of NiPcTs thin films are dependent on theannealing temperatures. The optical band gap decreases with increasein annealing temperature, then increased when the temperature risingto 473K. To enhance the results of Uv-Vis measurements and getmore accurate values of optical energy gaps; the Photoluminescencespectra of as-deposited and annealed NiPcTs thin films was studied.FTIR measurements for NiPcTs thin films also carried out in thiswork and gave good information about the NiPcTs bonds and itslocations as a compared with H2Pc as a reference.

AbstractMemristors represent an intriguing two-terminal device strategy potentially able to replace conventional memory devices as well as to support neuromorphic computing architectures. Here, we present the resistive switching behaviour of the sustainable and low-cost biopolymer chitosan, which can be extracted from natural chitin present for instance in crab exoskeletons. The biopolymer films were doped with Ag ions in varying concentrations and sandwiched between a bottom electrode such as fluorinated-tin-oxide and a silver top electrode. Silver-doped devices showed an overall promising resistive switching behaviour for doping concentrations between 0.5 to 1 wt% AgNO3. As bottom electrode fluorinated-tin-oxide, nickel, silver and titanium were studied and multiple write and erase cycles were recorded. However, the overall reproducibility and stability are still insufficient to support broader applicability.

Performance of lead titanate, (PbTiO3) thin films have been successfully investigated on microstructural properties, I-V characteristic, dielectric properties, and ferroelectric properties. PbTiO3offers variety of application as transducer, ferroelectric random access memory, transistor, high performance capacitor, sensor, and many more due to its ferroelectric behavior. Preparation of the films are often discussed in order to improve the structural properties, like existence of grain boundaries, particle uniformity, presents of microcrack films, porosities, and many more. Yet, researchers still prepare PbTiO3thin films at high crystallization temperature, certainly above than 600 ̊C to obtain single crystal perovskite structure that would be the reason to gain high spontaneous polarization behavior. Although this will results to high dielectric constant value, the chances that leads to high leakage current is a major failure in device performance. Thus, preparation the thin films at low annealing temperature quite an essential study which is more preferable deposited on low-cost soda lime glass. The study focuses on low annealing temperature of PbTiO3thin films through sol-gel spin coating method and undergo for dielectric and I-V measurements.

Polycrystalline thin films of CuInSe2 and CuGaSe2 are currently being developed as low-cost photovoltaic devices. These films are vacuum-deposited onto molybdenum metallized alumina substrates. The film composition may be varied by manipulation of the deposition parameters. For photovoltaic applications, the desired phase has a stoichiometry close to CuInSe2. This compound is a zincblende variant, the cations and anions occupying separate fcc sublattices. Under certain growth conditions, the Cu and In atoms adopt an ordered configuration within the cationic sublattice resulting in the tetragonal chalcopyrite structure. Even when the deposition parameters are manipulated to produce nominally stoichiometric films, powder x-ray traces often exhibit anomalous peaks indicative of the presence of impurity phases. The identification of these minority phases by x-ray diffraction alone is not possible in this materials system due to low peak intensity and overlap considerations. The formation of the secondary phases has a detrimental effect on the electrical and optical properties of the thin film device.

The tungsten oxide (WO3) thin films on the indium tin oxide (ITO) glass in this study were produced by applying the electrodeposition method (ED). This method involves adjusting ED time to control the structure, film thickness, and morphology of WO3thin films. Furthermore, the crystallization of the WO3thin films was controlled by annealing them at 200 °C and 500 °C. The results show that the WO3coated glass with non-annealed and annealed at 200 °C has a high transmittance of visible light and anti-infrared characteristics. However, the WO3coated glass annealed at 500 °C has high infrared transmittance, with the highest infrared transmittance reaching 85% at the 1000 nm wavelength. To improve the heat collecting efficiency of solar water heaters, the high infrared WO3coated glass can be applied to the surface of the heat collecting component.
