This article presents the synthesis and characterisation (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, CHNS (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur) analysis, atomic absorption spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction) of a single source molecular precursor 1-(2-fluorolbenzoyl)-3-(3-ferrocenylphenyl)selenourea (M2F). This precursor has been used for the fabrication of FeSe thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) in the presence of different concentrations of two different surfactants (triton and span) keeping all other conditions the same. Fabricated thin films have been characterised with powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The interaction of the surfactants with the precursor (M2F) has been evaluated with cyclic voltammetry and UV–vis spectroscopy.

AbstractSingle oxides (with titanium or lead) deposited as thin films by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapour deposition were investigated by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Examination of mixed oxides (titanates) and silicates were also carried out using these techniques. The crystallographic nature of these thin films were examined and comparisons made to their bulk counterparts. The deposition and anneal conditions 600 for producing cubic PbTiO3 films are discussed briefly.

Reaction of activated germanium with nBu2Te2 in THF solution was shown to be more effective for the preparation of the germanium(iv) tellurolate compound, [Ge(TenBu)4], than reaction of GeCl4 with LiTenBu in THF.

AbstractLithium manganese oxide thin films were deposited on sodalime glass substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) technique. The films were prepared by pyrolysis of lithium manganese acetylacetonate precursor at a temperature of 420 °C with a flow rate of 2.5 dm3/min for two-hour deposition period. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS), UV-Vis spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and van der Pauw four point probe method were used for characterizations of the film samples. RBS studies of the films revealed fair thickness of 1112.311 (1015 atoms/cm2) and effective stoichiometric relationship of Li0.47Mn0.27O0.26. The films exhibited relatively high transmission (50 % T) in the visible and NIR range, with the bandgap energy of 2.55 eV. Broad and diffused X-ray diffraction patterns obtained showed that the film was amorphous in nature, while microstructural studies indicated dense and uniformly distributed layer across the substrate. Resistivity value of 4.9 Ω·cm was obtained for the thin film. Compared with Mn0.2O0.8 thin film, a significant lattice absorption edge shift was observed in the Li0.47Mn0.27O0.26 film.
