In this paper, the influence of immersion time on the structural and optical properties of SnO2 thin films was investigated. A series of samples was deposited by Sol-Gel dip coating method onto glass substrates. The number of layers was fixed at 03, but the immersion time was varied between 01 to 10 minutes. The samples [(3 layers) - SnO2 / glass] were submitted to thermal treatments in air at 500°C during 2h. The specimens are characterized by Raman spectroscopy and UV-Visible spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy show that the thin films of SnO2 obtained at 06 and 10 minutes of immersion time, are crystallizes in rutile phase. The obtained results of optical analysis showed that the SnO2 thin films are transparent (77-85%) in the visible region and the values of the optical band gap varied from 3.81eV and 3.86 eV.

Nickel oxide has been widely used as material for antiferromagnetic, electrochromic display and functional layer for chemical sensors. Nickel oxide thin films of various molarities were deposited using a simple nebulizer technique and the substrate temperature was fixed at 350C. The effect of the molarity of precursor solution on structural and optical properties was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer techniques respectively. The band gap of the material was confirmed by photoluminescence spectrometer. It is found that increase in the molarity of 10ml volume of the sprayed solution leads to the increasing in film thickness. X-ray diffraction studies indicated cubic structure and the crystallites are preferentially oriented along (1 1 1) plane. It is also found that as the concentration of the solution increases the transmittance decreases, consequently the band-gap energy wanes from 4.0 eV to 3.2 eV.
