<p>Intrinsic zinc oxide (ZnO)/Al-doped ZnO (AZO) homojunction film was prepared using two-step immersion processes. The film was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer to investigate their structural and optical properties. The surface morphology image displays that the ZnO deposited on the nanorod surfaces in layer form with average diameter of nanorods about 95 nm. The structural properties of XRD pattern demonstrate that the film possessed good crystallinity with the preferred orientation at (002) plane. The film also possessed excellent absorption in the ultraviolet (UV) region with optical band gap energy of 3.22 eV. These results indicate that the film has a good potential for optical-based device such a UV sensor.</p>

Annealing Temperatures

In this research, TiO2 thin films were prepared using a simple sol-gel spin coating process. The films were characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy Dispersive Ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Ultraviolet–visible Spectrophotometer in order to investigate the influence of different annealing temperatures to the structural and optical properties of TiO2. The surface morphology images from FE-SEM display a uniform layer of nanoparticles with a sample of 500 °C possess the most uniform and the visible spherical grain of TiO2 nanoparticles. EDX spectra confirm the presence of Ti and O elements in the samples. The structural properties from the XRD pattern demonstrate that the films are crystalline at a temperature of 500 and 600 °C and the peak (101) intensity was increased as the annealing temperature increased. They exist in the anatase phase at the preferred plane orientation of (101). The calculated crystallite size for 500 and 600 °C samples is 19.22 and 28.37 nm, respectively. The films also possessed excellent absorption in the ultraviolet (UV) region with optical band gap energy ranging from 3.32 to 3.43 eV. These results can be fundamental for the fabrication of a UV sensing device.

Nanocrystalline bismuth ferrite BFO; BiFeO3 and manganese sillenite, BMO; Bi12MnO20 (BMO) powders have been successfully elaborated using a facile co-precipitation approach. The formed materials were examined using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Furthermore, the change in the optical properties was performed based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and UV-visible spectrophotometer. Typical, pure BiFeO3 and Bi12MnO20 phases were detected for the precursors precipitated at pH 10 based on ammonium hydroxide as a base then annealed at 500°C for 2h. Eventually, the optical band gap energy of BFO and BMO using Kubelka–Munk function based on Tauc’s plot was found to be 2.12 and 2.79 eV, respectively.

Commercial grade ZnO were sieved into particle size of 38 to 90 μm at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirms the hexagonal wurzite structure of ZnO microparticles. Irregular shapes of ZnO microparticles were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) confirmed the presence of Zn-O band. In addition, Uv-visible spectra (UV-Vis) were empolyed to estimate the band gap energy of ZnO microparticles.

Un-doped and (Cu, Al)-doped ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel spin coating technique on glass substrate. The effect of(Cu, Al)incorporation on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the Zinc oxide (ZnO)film was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis spectrophotometer. It has been found that the grain sizes, Optical band gap and the preferred orientation growth of (002) plane were decreased with increasing of (Cu, Al) dopants amount in ZnO films.

Al doped ZnO thin film have been prepared by a sol-gel method. The structural, and optical properties of the sample were investigated. X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy analyses and UV absorption spectroscopy analyses indicate that Al3+ substitute for Zn2+ without changing the wurtzite structure. With the Al doping, the visible emission increased and the UV emission decreased, which is attributed to the increase of O vacancies and Zn interstitials.

AbstractA nanocomposite of 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 has been synthesized using a sol-gel route. Structural and optical properties of the nanocomposite have been discussed in detail. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction spectroscopy confirm the phase purity and the particle size of the 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 nanocomposite (13 to 15 nm). The scanning electron microscopy also confirms the porosity in the sample, useful in sensing applications. The FT-IR analysis confirms the presence of physical interaction between SnO2 and Al2O3 due to the slight shifting and broadening of characteristic bands. The UV-Vis analysis confirms the semiconducting nature because of direct transition of electrons into the 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 nanocomposites.
