In this study, thin films of pure ZnO and  doped ZnO with different percentages of gallium (0.5, 1, 2 and 4vt. %) on the glass substrates were deposited by using sol-gel method via spin coating technique at 2500 rpm, and all layers were annealed at 200°C for 1h and then Were examined their electrical, optical and structural properties. Concentration of all solution was 0.1M. The results show that the optimized layer is 0.5% GZO. By examining the transmittance spectrums we find that by doping the transparency of samples were improved and all samples in the visible areas 400-800nm are transparent. The electrical conductivity of all samples has been measured by four-point probe technique. The electrical conductivitys of pure ZnO sample and 0.5% GZO are 910-5 S/cm and 110-4 S/cm respectively. It can be a good choice for optoelectronic applications. Also X-ray diffraction results showed that diffraction peaks of 0.5% GZO sample have a small changes towards lower angles compared to the diffraction peaks of ZnO.

High Temperature Process

ZnO thin films were prepared on silica glass substrates by a sol–gel spin coating technique. The thickness of the films was about 200 nm. At 370 nm in the ultraviolet region, there is a sharp absorption edge that corresponds to the ZnO intrinsic band gap of 3.30 eV. The structural properties of the films were examined by X-ray diffraction, which demonstrates that the ZnO films were c-axis oriented. From the infrared spectrum, we conclude that ZnO was deposited on silica glass substrates through a high temperature process at 700°C.

Structural Surface

Ag/TiO2thin films were prepared via sol-gel spin coating method. Structural, surface morphology and optical properties were investigated with the addition of two different amount of silver (Ag). X-ray diffraction pattern shows the sample with pure TiO2, the only phase presence was brookite TiO2. When the Ag content added into the solution, the phase existed for the samples with TiO2doped 0.5g Ag and TiO2doped 1.0g Ag were anatase TiO2with no peak corresponds to Ag phase. The surface morphology of film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The films were annealed at 450 °C and it shows non-uniform films. The films have a large flaky and cracks film which was attributed to surface tension between the film and the air during the drying process. When the solution of sol was added with Ag content, it shows the porous structure with flaky-crack films. With the increasing of the Ag content from 0.5g to 1.0g, the structure is more porous and it is good for the photocatalytic activity. The UV-Vis spectra shows that the film exhibits a low absorbance which was due to the substrate is inhomogeneously covered by the flaky-crack films.

Surface Morphologies

Preferentially oriented Al-doped ZnO thin films with doping concentration of 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 mol% respectively were prepared on glass substrates via sol-gel route. The crystallinity of films was characterized by X-ray diffraction and the surface morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that ZnO:Al films at low doping concentration (1, 2 mol%) grow into dense homogenous microstructure. However, as for high doping concentration (3, 5, 10 mol%), Al3+ precipitate in the form of amorphous Al2O3 and ZnO:Al films exhibit heterogeneous nucleation and exceptional growth of the big plate-like crystals at the interface of the amorphous Al2O3 and ZnO:Al matrix.

ABSTRACTThere is a great deal of interest in CaCu3Ti4O12 system for dielectric applications. We have studied Ca1-xSrxCu3Ti4O12 system for different compositions. The material is synthesized by sol-gel chemical solution route and thin films were deposited by spin coating. Thin films were investigated by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy for structural properties. These results indicate a solid solution for the compositions x = 0.00 to 0.80. The SEM micrographs shows the uniform films at 800° C, but the dielectric response of Ca1-xSrxCu3Ti4O12 (x = 0.00) shows the dielectric constant value below 200.

Thin films of copper oxide were successively deposited on glass substrates by sol-gel like spin coating for 40 s and annealed in air at different temperatures (200-400°C). Precursor solutions were prepared by dissolving cupric chloride in methanol. Various stabilizers and additives were used to enhance the solubility of cupric chloride and to improve the adhesion between the films and the glass substrates. Glucopone was used as a surfactant to reduce the surface energy. The evolution of oxide coatings under thermal treatment was studied by glancing incidence X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Annealing the films in air at 300°C converts the films to CuO. The general appearances of the films were uniform and brownish in color.

A thin film BaTiO3 wase made with a mole variation of 0.4 mol and 0.8 mol at a rotation speed of 3000 rpm. The samples were annealed at 400 ° C with 30 minutes stand-up time and at 900 ° C with 2 hours stand-up time and a heating rate of 5 ° C per minute. Characterization of optical properties samples was performed using UV-Vis spectrometers and characterization of microstructure samples using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The particle size was calculated by Scherer's formula. Based on the results of the analysis it was found that mole variation of the solution influenced the absorbance value, intensity, crystality level and BaTiO3 thin film particle size. The greater mole of BaTiO<sub>3</sub> solution the higher then absorbance value. The fewer then number of layers the greater then diffraction peak intensity. More number of layers the greater the level of crystallinity and particle size.</p><p class="KeywordsEngish"> </p><p class="AbstrakIndonesia"><strong>Abstra</strong><strong>k: </strong>Pembuatan lapisan tipis Barium Titanat (BaTiO<sub>3</sub>) telah dilakukan  diatas substrat Quartz menggunakan metode sol gel dengan teknik spin coating.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.

Mn, Fe doped ZnO powders (Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2, x≤0.05) were synthesized by an ameliorated sol-gel method, using Zn(CH3COO)2, Mn(CH3COO)2and FeCl2as the raw materials, with the addition of vitamin C as a kind of chemical reducer. The resulting powder was subsequently compacted under pressure of 10 MPa at the temperature of 873K in vacuum. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2powder and bulk samples have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study chemical valence of manganese, iron and zinc in the samples. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O (x≤0.05) samples were single phase with the ZnO-like wurtzite structure. No secondary phase was found in the XRD spectrum. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that Fe and Mn existed in Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2samples in Fe2+and Mn2+states. The results of VSM experiment proved the room temperature ferromagnetic properties (RTFP) of Mn, Fe co-doped ZnO samples.

ABSTRACTNd substituted bismuth titanate Bi4-xNdxTi3O12 were synthesized by sol-gel process and thin films were deposited on Pt substrate (Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si) by spin coating. Thin films, characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, shows complete solid solution up to the composition x < 1. Initial results indicate that the ferroelectric polarization increases with increasing Nd content in the film with 2Pr = 50μC/cm2 for x = 0.46, which may have application in non-volatile ferroelectric memory devices.
