ABSTRACTThin films of Co substituted ZnO and ZnCo2O4 were deposited on c-axis (0001) oriented Al2O3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The XRD results showed all the films were highly (002) oriented with a less intense peak of (311) for ZnCo2O4 thin film. Micro-Raman spectra of ceramic targets showed the modes related to wurtzite ZnO and spinel ZnCo2O4 structures. In thin films of Zn1−xCoxO no modes corresponding to ZnCo2O4 were detected. The intensity of E1(LO) and multiphonon peak at 584 and 540 cm−1 respectively, increased with increase in Co substitution. The optical absorption of the films showed that the band gap decreased with increase of Co concentrations at room temperature along with the sub-bandgap absorptions due to d-d transitions of Co2+. Similar sub-bandgap d-d transition was also observed in the absorption spectra ZnCo2O4 thin films. The highest saturated magnetization (0.2μB/Co) was obtained for 5%Co substituted ZnO.

VO2films were grown on sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and the structural and optical properties of as-grown films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field effect scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), photoluminescence (PL), and optical-transmission measurements. The oxygen partial pressure in the growth chamber was found to be the key factor deciding the microstructure and properties of as-deposited VO2films, and its effects and corresponding mechanism were investigated systemically. Results indicated that dense and uniform VO2films with smooth surface were achieved by PLD under optimized oxygen partial pressure. Strong blue emission peaks were observed in room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Excellent selective optical-transmission of the VO2thin films from 200~3000 nm were also recorded at room temperature.

AbstractThin film SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ were made by pulse laser deposition. The electrical conductivity is thermally activated in the temperature 25-500 °C with an activation energy of 0.17-0.19 eV and is temperature independant from 500-800 °C. The optical absorption shows characteristic features which are interpreted qualitatively in terms of a simple band structure diagram.
