The conditions have been developed for obtaining of gallium (Ga) nanoparticles by thermal evaporation method in an argon atmosphere on glass carbon substrates. Ga particles research was carried out by the developed intelligent analysis method of the images of the micrographs obtained under a scanning electron microscope. It is shown, that temperature of glass carbon substrate and the condensation time of the melt determine number of the nanoparticles and microparticles. Ga nanoparticles with 10 – 100 nm sizes and microparticles with up to 500 nm sizes were formed on the substrates with the condensation time of 10 – 20 s. Ga nanoparticles had a shape close to spherical, and their amount increased with the increase of the condensation time. The increase of the substrate temperature from 118 to 124 °С provided the decrease of 20 % in the average sizes of most Ga nanoparticles and the increase of their number by a factor of 7 – 20.

The indium selenium (InSe) bilayer thin films of various thickness ratios, InxSe(1-x) (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75), were deposited on a glass substrate keeping overall the same thickness of 2500 Ǻ using thermal evaporation method under high vacuum atmosphere. Electrical, optical, and structural properties of these bilayer thin films have been compared before and after thermal annealing at different temperatures. The structural and morphological characterization was done using XRD and SEM, respectively. The optical bandgap of these thin films has been calculated by Tauc’s relation that varies within the range of 1.99 to 2.05 eV. A simple low-cost thermoelectrical power measurement setup is designed which can measure the Seebeck coefficient “S” in the vacuum with temperature variation. The setup temperature variation is up to 70°C. This setup contains a Peltier device TEC1-12715 which is kept between two copper plates that act as a reference metal. Also, in the present work, the thermoelectric power of indium selenide (InSe) and aluminum selenide (AlSe) bilayer thin films prepared and annealed in the same way is calculated. The thermoelectric power has been measured by estimating the Seebeck coefficient for InSe and AlSe bilayer thin films. It was observed that the Seebeck coefficient is negative for InSe and AlSe thin films.

As the physical and electrical properties of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are determined by their dimension, it is necessary to control their dimension to integrate them in a device. SiNWs were synthesized via Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) mechanism in hot-wire chemical vapor process (HWCVP) technique using silane as a Si source and Sn as a catalyst. Different sizes of nano-template have been made by depositing of different amount of Sn using thermal evaporation method. The size of nano-template is found to be increased with the quantity of Sn. The diameter of resulted SiNWs depends on the size of the nano-template and it increases with the nano-template size. However, the diameter of SiNWs is found to be much larger than the used nano-template which is due to the deposition of silicon film on the sidewalls of the growing SiNWs. It is demonstrated here that the diameter of the interior core of SiNWs can be controlled desirable by adjusting the size of the nano-template.
