Abstract In this study, zinc oxide: carbon nanotube (ZnO: CNT) nano composite films with varying CNT concentrations (0,3,5,10, and 15) wt percent were generated utilizing the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) procedure on clean glass substrates at room temperature. The impact of CNT concentration on the structural, morphological, and optical features of ZnO: CNT nano thin films as deposited was examined. X-ray diffraction was used to evaluate the structure of the generated ZnO: CNT thin films, while an atomic force microscope was used to explore the morphological features of the nano films (AFM) and field emission scan electron microscopy (FESEM). The optical properties of prepared thin films were characterized and studied using UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. The structures of prepared ZnO: CNT with different concentration of CNT thin films were polycrystalline. ZnO: CNT nano thin films were synthesized in hexagonal phase and the dominate orientation is (101). The crystallite sizes are 32 and 26 nm for (101) and (100)) planes for ZnO and ZnO: 15% CNT nano films respectively. These crystallite size are decreased with increasing CNT (0, 3,5,10 and 15) wt. %. The lowest grain size can be shown for ZnO, while the largest grain size can be seen in ZnO: CNT nano thin with 15% concentration, whereas FESEM micrographs displayed a typically rough, pronounced microstructure, with surface protrusions. The energy gap (Eg) of ZnO: CNT nano thin film with various concentrations is computed. The result analysis shows that Eg decreased with increasing CNT weight concentration. This type of behaviors make the prepared films are good candidate for broad range of applications such as optoelectronic and display devices.

Nickel(II) phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt (NiTsPc) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at different substrate temperatures ([Formula: see text]) by chemical spray pyrolysis (CSP) technique. The substrate temperature varied from 110∘C to 310∘C in 50∘C steps. The substrate surface temperature is the main parameter that determines the film morphology and properties of the thin films. The structural properties of the deposited NiTsPc thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and from the obtained results, it was shown that depositing thin films using 210∘C as [Formula: see text] results in higher crystallinity. Atomic force microscope (AFM) was employed to obtain the surface topography and to calculate the roughness and grain size. The smoothest thin film surface was obtained when using at 160∘C, while the highest roughness was obtained at 310∘C. The optical properties were investigated by ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrophotometer. From the absorption spectra recorded in the wavelength range 190–1100[Formula: see text]nm, two absorption bands were observed, which are known as Soret and Q-band. By observing the absorption spectrum, it can be concluded that the deposited thin films at 110∘C–310∘C have direct energy gap. From Tauc plot relation, the energy gap ([Formula: see text]) was calculated. The values of the energy gap were between 3.05 and 3.14[Formula: see text]eV. It was observed that different [Formula: see text] highly affects the structural and optical properties of the deposited thin films. The crystallinity, grain size, roughness and the optical properties were strongly affected by the different substrate temperatures.

In the present work, zinc sulfide thin films were deposited on glass substrates by sol–gel process with different coating speeds 3600, 4800, 6000 and 7200[Formula: see text]rpm. Zinc acetate (Zn(CH3COO)[Formula: see text]H2O) and thiourea (CH4N2S) were used as precursors. Two-methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine were used as solvent and stabilizer, respectively. The optical properties of ZnS thin films such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, dielectric function and optical band gap energy of the films were obtained by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) analysis method in the wavelength range of 300–800[Formula: see text]nm. The incidence angle of the layers was kept at 70∘. The measured SE parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are fitted against the designed model by minimizing the mean square error (MSE). Considering the data obtained, it can be deduced that the optical properties of ZnS films are highly influenced by rotation rates. The extinction coefficients of the films were increased with increasing rotation rates of the films. From these results, it is found that the energy gap of the ZnS films increases with increasing rotation rates of the films in the range of 3.13–3.20[Formula: see text]eV.

The Impact

In the present work, nanocrystalline hausmannite Mn3O4:Ba thin films have been deposited on glass substrates by chemical spray pyrolysis (CSP). Then, we investigated the impact of Ba doping concentrations on the structural, morphological and optical properties. The structural characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction technique and clearly show the films have a spinel Mn3O4 polycrystalline structure, the degree of crystallinity was improved by increasing Ba concentrations in Mn3O4 matrix with crystallite size range of 15–33[Formula: see text]nm. The lattice parameters, the unit cell volume and the (Mn-O) bond length of tetrahedral and octahedral sites, were varied by increasing Ba concentrations. SEM micrographs show that the films are homogeneous with nanoparticles dispersed on the surface with sizes range 30–132[Formula: see text]nm. The optical properties were estimated by UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer and exhibited that the optical transmittance and band gap were improved by increasing Ba doping concentration. Empirical equations were suggested to estimate some correlated variables with excellent agreement with the experimental data. The optimum condition was recorded in films doped with 3% of Ba where a better crystallinity, a preferable surface morphology and outstanding optical properties have been achieved.

Ag2O (Silver Oxide) is an important p-type (in chasm to most oxides which were n-type), with a high conductivity semiconductor. From the optical absorbance data, the energy gap value of the Ag2O thin films was 1.93 eV, where this value substantially depends on the production method, vacuum evaporation of silver, and optical properties of Ag2O thin films are also affected by the precipitation conditions. The n-type and p-type silicon substrates were used  with porous silicon wafers to precipitate  ±125 nm, as thick Ag2O thin film by thermal evaporation techniques in vacuum and via rapid thermal oxidation of 400oC and oxidation time 95 s, then characterized by measurement of XRD, optical properties and scanning electron microscopy properties (SEM). Maximum value of photo response obtained from p-Ag2O/p-PS/Si  photodetector results revealed  two peak sat 600 nm and 800 nm. According to the x-ray diffraction four peaks appear, (111), (200), (110) and (311) Ag, respectively, (polycrystalline film) and lattice constant of (4.077 Å). Also the results showed a sharp increasing in the absorption-wave length plot of Ag2O film at UV and IR regions. The accumulation of the stars-like are semi-regular of the Ag2O nanocrystals on the surface of p-type PS and the other diffuse inside the pores in a nearly uniform distribution with a different grain size on the surface. The results of the dislocation density and strain are decreased with the grain size increasing.

   The ZnTe alloy was prepared as  deposited thin films on the glass substrates at a thickness of 400±20 nm using vacuum evaporation technique at pressure (1 × 10-5) mbar and room temperature. Then the thin films under vacuum (2 × 10-3 mbar) were annealing at (RT,100 and 300) °C for one hour. The structural properties were studied by using X-ray diffraction and AFM, the results show that the thin films had approached the single crystalline in the direction (111) as preferred orientation of the structure zinc-blende for cubic type, with small peaks of tellurium (Te) element for all prepared thin films. The calculated crystallite size (Cs) decreased with the increase in the annealing temperature, from (25) nm before the annealing to (21) nm after the annealing. The images of atomic force microscopy of all thin films appeared a homogenous structure and high smoothness through roughness values ​​that increased slightly from (1.4) nm to (3.4) nm. The optical properties of the ZnTe at (RT,100 and 300) °C were studied transmittance and absorbance spectrum as a function of the wavelength. The energy gap was found about (2.4) eV for the thin films before the annealing and increased slightly to (2.5) eV after annealing at 300 °C

Abstract Undoped ZnO thin films have been prepared on glass substrates at different substrate temperatures by spray pyrolysis method. The effect of temperature on the structural, morphological and optical properties of n-type ZnO films was studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results confirmed that the ZnO thin films were polycrystalline with wurtzite structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements showed that the surface morphology of the films changed with temperature. The studies demonstrated that the ZnO film had a transmission of about 85 % and energy gap of 3.28 eV at 450 °C. The RBS measurements revealed that ZnO layers with a thickness up to 200 nm had a good stoichiometry.
