Thin films of pure tin mono-sulfide SnS and tin mono-sulfide for (1,2,3,4)% fluorine SnS:F with Thicknesses of (0.85 ±0.05) ?m and (0.45±0.05) ?m respectively were prepared by chemical spray pyrolysis technique. the effect of doping of F on structural and optical properties has been studied. X-Ray diffraction analysis showed that the prepared films were polycrystalline with orthorhombic structure. It was found that doping increased the intensity of diffraction peaks. Optical properties of all samples were studied by recording the absorption and transmission spectrum in range of wave lengths (300-900) nm. The optical energy gap for direct forbidden transition and indirect allowed transition were evaluated It is found that for doping less than 2% the optical energy gap increases as the percentage of doping increases in the samples while for doping more than 2% the values of the optical energy gap decreases as the percentage of doping increases.

In the present work, undoped CdS and doped with iron CdS:Fe+3 thin films have been prepared by chemical spray pyrolysis method on glass substrate with different temperature from cadmium nitrate solution with constant thickness(450 ± 5 nm), and study the effect of the percentage of doping with iron on optical properties of prepared films. The optical properties have been studied from transmittance and absorbance spectral within wavelengths range (380-900 nm). The results showed that all the prepared films has direct electronic transitions and optical energy gap between (2.31-2.44 eV). They also showed that the transmittance and optical energy gap of films prepared from nitrate solution increase with increasing of substrate temperature, then transmittance start downward with the continued increase in temperature (400, 450 oC), and a decrease in the optical energy gap with increasing doping percentage with iron.

Mixed Fe2O3 - NiO thin films have been prepared by chemical Spray pyrolysis technique onto glass substrate preheated to 450 °C. The thickness of thin films was found to be (400 ±20) nm. XRD measurements reveal that all the film exhibit polycrystalline hexagonal wrutzite with a preferred orientation along (104) plane for pure and 10 % and 20 % Ni, while for the rest the structure was amorphous. AFM analysis indicate a nanostructure for all the films. The optical energy gap was found to be increased from optical transitions seems to be direct and the optical energy gap seems to be increased from 2.5 to 2.69 eV as the percentage of NiO increase.

Cobalt Ferrite CoFe2O4 thin films have been deposited by chemical spray pyrolysis method (CSP) on glass substrates at different substrate temperatures (300, 350, 400 and 450°C) with an interval of (50°C) using Cobalt Nitrate and Ferric Nitrate as Cobalt and Iron sources respectively, at thickness (400±20) nm. The effect of substrate temperatures change on the optical properties for all prepared films was studied. The optical properties for all the films were studied by recording the transmittance and absorbance spectrum in the range of (300-900) nm. The results showed decreases in transmittance and increases in absorbance with increasing the substrate temperatures. the optical energy gap for allowed direct electronic transition was calculated and it was found that decreases with increasesing the substrate temperatures (2.40-2.22 eV), the Urbach energy increases with increasesing the substrate temperatures and it is values range between (634.6-700.5) meV. The optical constants (absorption coefficient, refractive index, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant and optical conductivity) as a function of photon energy for all prepared films were calculated.

The research included the preparation and then studying the structural and optical properties of the cobalt dioxide (CoO2)films. The latter films were prepared using a semi-computerized spray pyrolysis technique (SCSPT),. The X-ray diffraction gave polycrystalline nature with crystal system trigonal (hexagonal axes), and the Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) showed that all films contain the elements (Co and O) indicating formation of (CoO2) films with high purity. FTIR measurements showed of chemical bonds of CoO2 clearly. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM ) Showed clearly that the formed thin films under the optimum conditions were homogeneous, dense and compact, and Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM) results showed that the topography of the film surface where surface roughness was found to be 7.91 nm, root mean square was 9.69 nm., and the average granularity diameter was 78.00 nm. The optical properties (absorbance, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, optical Conductivity, the real ε_(1 ) and imaginary ε_2 part of the dielectric constant )were decreased with increasing the wavelength, while the transmittance increases with increasing wavelength. The optical energy gap was (1.98eV) and this is a good optical energy gap values for photovoltaic applications.
