The objectives of this study are i) to determine an electrical property, especially resistance, of carbon  (C), tin oxide (SnO2), and C+SnO2 thin films. ii) to determine the optical property of C, SnO2 and C+SnO2 thin films based on UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). and iii) to determine the crystallinity of C, SnO2 and C+SnO2 thin films based on X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show different physical characteristics from the three samples of the thin film layers. The result on the resistance measurement shows that C thin film has the lowest resistance, followed by SnO2, and C+SnO2 thin films with resistance values of 1.0769 mΩ, 1.0774 mΩ, and 3.8875 mΩ, respectively. The UV-Vis results show a peak for each of the thin film at 256 nm, 257 nm, and 258 nm for C, SnO2, and C+SnO2, respectively, which is in the UV area. The XRD results show that the C and SnO2 thin layers are amorphous while C+SnO2 thin layer is crystal

Aluminum (0.5 at.%)-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique (PLD) in oxygen ambient of 10[Formula: see text] Torr. The deposited thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy and uv–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis). Next, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by Hummers method and was characterized by XRD, UV–vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thereafter, GO solution was drop-casted on AZO thin films. These films were then characterized by Raman Spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy and PL. Attempt is being made to comprehend the modifications in properties brought about by integration.

Cyclic Voltammetry Measurement

Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is a promising material for solar cell application. Due to its various advantages over silicon material, it has been exploited extensively to be use in photovoltaic cell. Cu2O thin films were electrodeposited in sulfate-based solution. Cyclic voltammorgram (CV) measurement was used to investigate the reduction process under controlled parameters. Deposition potential of-0.1V vs. Ag/AgCl was used for the fabrication of Cu2O thin film based on the CV measurement. CV also revealed that the deposition speed was dependent on the bath pH and the temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, Field Emission Scanning-Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) were performed to characterize the deposited thin films. The n-Cu2O was successfully fabricated on FTO glass substrate with (111)-prefered orientation. Surface morphology of the thin films were observed to be in flower-like shape combination with pyramidal and triangular shape.

AbstractPalladium nanowires have been electrodeposited into mesoporous silica thin film templates. Palladium continually grows and fills silica mesopores starting from a bottom conductive substrate, providing a ready and efficient route to fabricate a macroscopic palladium nanowire thin films for potentially use in fuel cells, electrodes, sensors, and other applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicate it is possible to create different nanowire morphology such as bundles and swirling mesostructure based on the template pore structure.

Anatase TiO2 thin films are deposited on K9 glass samples at different substrate temperatures by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. N ion implantation is performed in the as-deposited TiO2 thin films at ion fluences of 5 × 1016, 1 × 1017, and 5 × 1017 ions/cm2. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV–visible spectrophotometer are used to characterize the films. With increasing N ion fluences, the absorption edges of anatase TiO2 films shift to longer wavelengths and the absorbance increases in the visible light region. XPS results show that the red shift of TiO2 films is due to the formation of N–Ti–O compounds. As a result, photoactivity is enhanced with increasing N ion fluence.

ABSTRACTAlN thin film structures have many useful and practical piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. The potential enhancement of the AlN piezo- and pyroelectric constants allows it to compete with more commonly used materials. For example, combination of AlN with ScN leads to new structural, electronic, and mechanical characteristics, which have been reported to substantially enhance the piezoelectric coefficients in solid-solution AlN-ScN compounds, compared to a pure AlN-phase material.In our work, we demonstrate that an analogous alloying approach results in considerable enhancement of the pyroelectric properties of AlN - ScN composites. Thin films of ScN, AlN and Al1-x ScxN (x = 0 – 1.0) were deposited on silicon (004) substrates using dual reactive sputtering in Ar/N2 atmosphere from Sc and Al targets. The deposited films were studied and compared using x-ray diffraction, XPS, SEM, and pyroelectric characterization. An up to 25% enhancement was observed in the pyroelectric coefficient (Pc = 0.9 µC /m2K) for Sc1-xAlxN thin films structures in comparison to pure AlN thin films (Pc = 0.71 µC/m2K). The obtained results suggest that Al1-x ScxN films could be a promising novel pyroelectric material and might be suitable for use in uncooled IR detectors.

Sol gel indium tin oxide thin films (In: Sn = 90:10) were prepared by the sol-gel dipcoating process on silicon buffer substrate. The precursor solution was prepared by mixing SnCl2.2H2O and InCl3 dissolved in ethanol and acetic acid. The crystalline structure and grain orientation of ITO films were determined by X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology of the films was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Optical transmission and reflectance spectra of the films were analyzed by using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The transport properties of majority charge carriers for these films were studied by Hall measurement. ITO thin film with electrical resistivity of 7.6 ×10-3 3.cm, Hall mobility of approximately 2 cm2(Vs)-1 and free carrier concentration of approximately 4.2 ×1020 cm-3 are obtained for films 100 nm thick films. The I-V curve measurement showed typical I-V characteristic behavior of sol gel ITO thin films.

Zn-rich and P-rich amorphous Zn3P2 thin films were prepared by co-evaporation of the excess element during the normal Zn3P2 deposition. X-ray diffraction techniques were used to investigate the structural properties and the crystallization process. Agglomeration of the excess element within the as-made amorphous Zn3P2 thin film accounted for the structural properties observed after annealing the sample. Electrical measurements showed that excess Zn reduces the conductivity activation energy and increases the conductivity, while excess P up to 15 at.% does not alter the electrical properties significantly.

It is hardly possible to obtain rare earth doped CaWO4thin films directly through electrochemical techniques. A two-step method has been proposed to synthesize CaWO4:(Eu3+,Tb3+) thin films at room temperature. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, spectrophotometer were used to characterize their phase, composition and luminescent properties. Results reveal that (Eu3+,Tb3+)-doped CaWO4films have a tetragonal phase. When the ratio of n (Eu)/n (Tb) in the solution is up to 3:1, CaWO4:(Eu3+,Tb3+) thin film will be enriched with Tb element; on the contrary, when the ratio in the solution is lower than 1:4, CaWO4:(Eu3+,Tb3+) thin film will be enriched with Eu element. Under the excitation of 242 nm, sharp emission peaks at 612, 543, 489 and 589 nm have been observed for CaWO4:(Eu3+,Tb3+) thin films.

Sol Gel Process

Strontium substituted hydroxyapatite(SrHAp) were fabricated both in the form of powder as reference and thin film by using inorganic precursor reaction. The sol-gel process has been used for the deposition of SrHAp layer on stainless steal 316L substrate by spin coating technique, after that the films were annealed in air at various temperatures. The chemical composition of SrHAp is represented (SrxCa1-x)5(PO4)3OH, where x is equal to 0, 0.5 and 1.0. Investigations of the phase structure of SrHAp were carried out by using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The results showed that strontium is incorporated into hydroxyapatite where its substitution for calcium increases in the lattice parameters, and Sr3(PO4)2 can be detected at 900°C. The SEM micrographs showed that SrHAp films exhibited porous structure before develop to a cross-linking structure.
