In this research, the effect of precursor concentration of CuI thin film deposited by spin coating method was studied. The wide band gap p-type semiconductor CuI thin film was prepared by mixing the CuI powder with 50 ml of acetonitrile as a solvent. The CuI concentration varies from 0.05M to 0.5M. The speed for spin coating is 1000 rpm for 60 seconds. After the deposition the CuI thin films were annealed at 150°C. The result shows the CuI thin film properties strongly depends on its precursor concentration. Thickness between 33.65 nm - 441.25 nm was obtained as the concentration increased. The increment of thickness affected the electrical property with resistivity of about 10-6 Ω.cm and 101 Ω.cm was observed for all the CuI thin films. For optical properties, the transmittance decreased with high concentration as high amount of CuI particle were observed in the thin films. From the transmittance, the absorption coefficient of 10-6 m-1 and optical band gap of 3.10 and 3.50 eV for all the films were observed using Tauc’s plot.

Abstract In this study, undoped semiconductor ZnO thin film and Bi-doped ZnO thin films were produced using the sol-gel spin coating method. By changing each parameter of the spin coating method, the best conditions for the formation of the film were determined via the trial and error method. When the appropriate parameter was found, the specified parameter was applied for each film. The structural, superficial, and optical properties of the films produced were characterized via atomic force microscope (AFM), UV-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and the effects of Bi dopant on these properties were investigated. When the morphological properties of the undoped and Bi-doped ZnO films were examined, it was observed that they had a structure in a micro-fiber shape consisting of nanoparticles. When the surface roughness was examined, it was observed that the surface roughness values became larger as the rate of Bi dopant increased. By examining the optical properties of the films, it was determined that they were direct band transition materials and Bi-doped thin films were involved in the semiconductor range. In addition, optical properties changed positively with Bi dopant. Since Bi-doped ZnO thin film has a wide bandgap and good optical properties, it is a material that can be used in optoelectronic applications.

Abstract This study aims to determine the resonance parameters of polyaniline thin films to better understand the viscoelasticity properties of polyaniline films. The spin coating method was used with varying solvent concentrations and rotating speed of spin coater during the deposition Polyaniline (PANI) thin film on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). To determine the resonance parameters of the PANI thin film, the impedance and QCM frequency measurements were first carried out before and after coated with PANI. The modelling used is a modified BVD model, and the determined resonance parameters are C0, C1, L1, R1, L2 and R2. From the results of the analysis using the GRG Nonlinear solver program, it was found that solution concentration and rotational speed in the spin coating process has a significant effect on resonator parameters of PANI thin film. The best solution concentration from this study was 2% DMF with a rotational speed of 2,000 rpm. This is because in these conditions it provides a minimal damping effect on QCM.

<p>The synthesis of Fe-doped TiO<sub>2</sub> thin film using spin coating method was studied. Effects of aging time on the deposited thin film were investigated. Titanium butoxide (C<sub>16</sub>H<sub>36</sub>O<sub>4</sub>Ti) as a precursor solution was mixed with the FeCl<sub>3</sub>. Spin coating process was carried out on three types of precursor solution: (1) spin-coating process performed immediately after the precursor solution was made, (2) spin-coating process performed after solution was aged for 24 hours, (3) aged for 24 and (4) spin-coating after aging the precursor for 72 hours. Heating was carried out on the resulting thin film at temperature of 400 °C. The morphology of TiO<sub>2</sub> layers was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). Elemental and phase composition of the films was determined using EDX and X-ray diffraction (XRD). We found that the best TiO<sub>2</sub> layer is obtained when spin-coating process is done after aging the precursor for 72 hours. The layer shows a more uniform particle distribution on the substrate and a more monodisperse particle size dominated by the anatase phase.</p>

Ruthenium oxide, Manganese oxide and (Ru:Mn)O2 composite thin films have been prepared by 0.02M Ruthenium chloride and Manganese acetate solutions respectively on stainless steel substrates by sol-gel spin coating method. Layer by layer deposition of RuO2 and MnO2 was done for composite films. RuO2: MnO2 composite thin films have been demonstrated to be an excellent material for Supercapacitor application when evaluated with RuO2 and MnO2 thin film electrodes with respect to XRD, SEM, CV, CP and EIS studies. As a result, high specific capacitance of 515 F/g at 10 mV/s with excellent stability and long cycle life was obtained, where specific power and energy were as high as 15.38 Wh/kg and 4.06 KW/kg respectively with loading weight of 0.13 mg/cm2 .Composite films showed changes in structural and morphological features which was admiring for supercapacitor applications. The electrochemical impedance measurement was carried out in 0.1M KOH in the frequency range 10 to 105 Hz. From the analysis it can be concluded that mixed oxide composites have superior capacitive performance to single transition metal oxides as electrodes.

Thin films of TiO2have been deposited on to cleaned glass substrate by sol gel spin coating method. The XRD analyses confirm different crystalline phases of TiO2thin films. The grain size calculated by the help of Scherer’s formula and found to be 23nm, 37nm and 54 nm respectively for TiO2(004), TiO2(200) and TiO2(211) orientations. The band gap was calculated 3.6 eV by UV-spectrophotometer. The refractive index of the TiO2film was measured by Ellipsometry and found to be 2.33. Conductivity was measured using Current voltage (I-V) characteristics. To determine composition and thermal stability, thermo gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) analysis was made on samples.
