Optical Band Gaps

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were grown by nonreactive RF sputtering at room temperature under varying argon pressures (PAr). Their optical band gap was found to increase from 3.58 to 4.34 eV when the argon pressure increases from 2.67 to 10.66 Pa. After annealing at 200°C and 500°C, optical band gaps decrease considerably. The observed widening of the band gap with increasingPArcan be understood as being a consequence of the poorer crystallinity of films grown at higher pressures. Measurements of morphological and electrical properties of these films correlate well with this picture. Our main aim is to understand the effects ofPAron several physical properties of the films, and most importantly on its optical band gap.

Dc Reactive Magnetron Sputtering

ZnO thin films were prepared by DC reactive magnetron sputtering at room temperature. Two of them were annealed with different modes under vacuum condition. One was annealed with constant temperature of 300°C ; the other was annealed with temperature rising step by step from room temperature to 300°C . By comparing the microstructure and optical properties of the as-grown and annealed samples, the effects of different annealing modes on ZnO films performances were revealed. The experiment results investigated that the sample annealed with constant temperature of 300°C has the high grain size and surface roughness. Both of the two annealing modes could release the intrinsic stresses to some degree. The optical band gap of the samples narrowed after annealing, and the two annealed samples have almost the same band gap. Strong green emissions are observed for all the samples, but the emission intensity decreased of the sample annealed with the temperature rising step by step compared with that of other samples.

Undoped and silver, lithium and cobalt-doped ZnO thin films have been successfully deposited on glass by chemical bath deposition (CBD). The reaction temperature was 50∘C and the films were annealed at 400∘C for 4[Formula: see text]h in a high temperature furnace. UV/VIS spectrum was used to determine optical transmittance, optical band gap ([Formula: see text] and absorbance values of Ag:ZnO, Co:ZnO, Li:ZnO and undoped ZnO thin films. Optical band gap ([Formula: see text] and absorbance values of undoped ZnO, Ag:ZnO, Co:ZnO and Li:ZnO thin films were found as 0.0158, 0.0064, 0.2638, 0.0956 and 3.24, 3.13, 3.27, 2.96 eV, respectively. Extinction coefficients and refraction indexes of the films were found to be 0.0096, 0.0038, 0.0068, 0.019 (extinction coefficient) and 1.26, 1.14, 1.66, 2.33 (refraction index), respectively. X-ray patterns of undoped ZnO, Ag:ZnO, Co:ZnO and Li:ZnO thin films were confirmed as amorphous.
