Nanostructured CdO films were prepared by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique. Cadmium nitrate salt was used as a source of cadmium ions ( Cd +2). The effect of solution molarity on the structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties of nanostructured CdO films had been investigated. To obtain a good film stoichiometry, films were heated in a static air temperature of 673 K for 90 min. X-ray diffraction results showed the formation of polycrystalline cadmium oxide structure. The average grain size and root mean square of roughness values obtained from AFM investigation were 87 nm and 13 nm respectively for CdO film prepared with 0.03 M and 98 nm and 17 nm respectively for CdO film prepared with 0.1 M. The average transmittance of CdO films in the visible region was between 70–80% with a corresponding direct optical energy of 2.41–2.5 eV. The electrical resistivity of nanostructured CdO films at temperatures 300–500 K was measured.

Zn0.2Cd0.8S alloyed films were prepared on glass substrates at room temperature using chemical bath deposition method. The obtained films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 200°C to 500°C with heating rate of 5°C/min and annealed at 400°C with heating rate of 2°C/min and 10°C/min. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The increasing of annealing temperature increases the crystallinity and the mean grain size of Zn0.2Cd0.8S alloyed films and significantly enhances the absorption in the visible region. The efficient visible light photocatalytic activity for annealed Zn0.2Cd0.8S alloyed films is associated with the larger size grain and the higher crystallinity.

     Nanostructured indium doped CdO thin films were prepared by spray pyrolysis on glass substrate and annealed at 200-400 ᵒC for 1 hour. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of prepared films were studied using different techniques such as optical transmission, photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction, and Hall measurement. X-ray analysis shows that the In doped CdO films are preferentially orientated along (111) crystallographic directions. Increasing of annealing temperature increases the films packing density and reorient the crystallites along (1 1 1) plane.  The optical transmissions of all annealed films decreased with increasing annealing temperature. An increasing in the absorbance and photoluminescence spectra with increasing annealing temperature was denoted in all films. The band gap value of CdO:4%In equals to 2.5 eV and it decreases with annealing temperature and reaches of 2.45 eV for 400°C. The resistivity of annealed films decreased as annealing temperature increased. While high conductivity achieved in the present study is found to be 11.37 ×102 (Ω.cm)-1 for annealing at 400°C.

WO3 thin film was prepared on glass substrate at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering deposition with hybrid (Ar+2.5% H2) gas. Effects of RF power on the microstructure, electrical and optical properties of WO3 films are investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Hall measurement and spectrometer. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that all of the films are amorphous. The minimum resistivity of the WO3 film prepared with RF 70W is 5.74 × 10-3 -cm. The average transmittance in the visible region was decreased with increased RF power from 50W to 150W. The average transmittance was lower than 15% with RF 50W. The electrical and optical mechanisms have been explained in terms of composition and film thickness were changed with RF power.

The presence of functional groups in the crystal lattice has been determined qualitatively by FTIR analysis. Optical absorption studies revealed that the doped crystals possess very low absorption in the entire visible region. The dielectric constant has been studied as a function of frequency for the doped crystals. The thermal stability was evaluated by TG-DSC analysis.

The Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles obtained by the aqueous coprecipitation method are characterized systematically using scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometer. These magnetic nanoparticles are spheric, dispersive, and have average grain size of 50 nm. The size and magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanoparticles can be tuned by the reaction temperature. All samples exhibit high saturation magnetization (Ms=53.4 emu·g-1) and superparamagnetic behavior with a block temperature (TB) of 215K. These properties make such Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles worthy candidates for the magnetic carriers of targeted-drug or gene therapy in future.

Towards the utilization of Cu2O nanomaterial for the degradation of industrial dye pollutants such as methylene blue and methyl orange, the graphene-incorporated Cu2O nanocomposites (GCC) were developed via a precipitation method. Using Hummers method, the grapheme oxide (GO) was initially synthesized. The varying weight percentages (1–4 wt %) of GO was incorporated along with the precipitation of Cu2O catalyst. Various characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infra-red (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible diffused reflectance (UV-DRS), Raman spectroscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and electro chemical impedance (EIS) were followed for characterization. The cabbage-like morphology of the developed Cu2O and its composites were ascertained from field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). In addition, the growth mechanism was also proposed. The results infer that 2 wt % GO-incorporated Cu2O composites shows the highest value of degradation efficiency (97.9% and 96.1%) for MB and MO at 160 and 220 min, respectively. Further, its catalytic performance over visible region (red shift) was also enhanced to an appreciable extent, when compared with that of other samples.

The principles of jet electrodeposition orientated by rapid prototyping were introduced. The nanocrystalline nickel parts with simple shape were fabricated using jet electrodeposition. The microstructure and phase transformation of nanocrystalline nickel were observed under the scanning microscope and X-ray diffraction instrument. The results show that the jet electrodeposition can greatly enhance the limited current density, fine crystalline particles and improve deposition quality. The nickel parts prepared by jet electrodeposition own a fine-grained structure (average grain size 25.6nm) with a smooth surface and high dimensional accuracy under the optimum processing parameters.

Effects of annealing treatment on growth of rutile TiO2nanorods on structural, morphological and optical properties of TiO2nanorods were investigated. The nanorods were fabricated on p-type (111)-oriented silicon substrates and, all substrates were seeded with a TiO2seed layer synthesized by radio-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering system. Chemical bath deposition (CBD) was carried out to grow rutile TiO2nanorods on Si substrate at different annealing temperatures (350, 550, 750, and 950 °C). Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analyses showed the tetragonal rutile structure of the synthesized TiO2nanorods. Optical properties were examined by photoluminescence spectroscopy. The spectra exhibit one strong UV emission peak which can be seen at around 390 nm for all of the samples. In the visible region, TiO2demonstrated two dominant PL emissions centered at around 519 and 705 nm. The experimental results showed that the TiO2nanorods annealed at 550 °C exhibited the optimal structural properties. Moreover, the CBD method enabled the formation of photosensitive, high-quality rutile TiO2nanorods with few defects for future optoelectronic nanodevice applications.

Abstract In this study, the effect of grafting with Iron (Fe) ratios (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5) on the structural and optical properties of cadmium oxide films (CdO) was studied, as these films were prepared on glass bases using the method of pulse laser deposition (PLD). The crystallization nature of the prepared films was examined by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), which showed that the synthesis of the prepared films is polycrystalline, and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) images also showed that the increased vaccination with Iron led to an increase in the crustal size ratio and a decrease in surface roughness, The absorption coefficient was calculated and the optical energy gap for the prepared thin films. It was found the absorption decreases and the energy gap decreases with the increase of doping ratio.
