Nanocrystalline cadmium oxide (CdO) thin film was successfully synthesized by a vapor transport process (solid-vapor deposition) without catalyst. Cadmium powder was heated to 1235 K in a tube furnace, and the resultant vapor was carried to the silicon substrate zone by a flow argon gas with oxygen. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the product was of nanocrystalline cadmium oxide. X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray techniques were used to characterize structural properties. The grown nanocrystalline thin film had a grain size of 35 nm. Photoluminescence spectroscopy was conducted to investigate the optical properties of the CdO. The red-shift direct band gap energy of the nanocrystalline CdO was at 511 nm (2.43 eV), whereas that of CdO bulk was at 491 nm (2.5 eV).

Al co-doped ZnCoO thin film has been prepared by a sol-gel method. The structural and optical properties of the sample were investigated. X-ray diffraction and UV absorption spectroscopy analyses indicate that Al3+ and Co2+ substitute for Zn2+ without changing the wurtzite structure. With the Al doping, the visible emission increased and the UV emission decreased, which is attributed to the increase of O vacancies and Zn interstitials.

Abstract In this study, the effect of grafting with Iron (Fe) ratios (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5) on the structural and optical properties of cadmium oxide films (CdO) was studied, as these films were prepared on glass bases using the method of pulse laser deposition (PLD). The crystallization nature of the prepared films was examined by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), which showed that the synthesis of the prepared films is polycrystalline, and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) images also showed that the increased vaccination with Iron led to an increase in the crustal size ratio and a decrease in surface roughness, The absorption coefficient was calculated and the optical energy gap for the prepared thin films. It was found the absorption decreases and the energy gap decreases with the increase of doping ratio.

AbstractThe chemical vapor deposition of icosahedral boron arsenide, B12As2, on 6H-SiC (0001) (on and off-axis) substrates was studied using hydrides as the reactants. The effects of temperature and reactant flow rates on the phases deposited and the crystal quality were determined. The growth rate increased with temperature from 1.5μm/h at 1100°C to 5 μm/h at 1400°C and decreased thereafter. X-ray diffraction revealed that the deposits were amorphous when the deposition temperature is below 1150° C. Above 1150°C, smooth B12As2 films were formed on 6H-SiC substrates with an orientation of (0001) B12As2 parallel to 6H-SiC (0001). Raman spectroscopy confirmed the strongly c-axis oriented nature of B12As2 film on 6H-SiC.

The present work deals with the preparation and characterization of cadmium sulfur (CdS) thin films. These films are prepared by chemical bath deposition on the well cleaned glass substrates. The thickness of the samples was measured by using profilometer DEKTAK, structural and optical properties were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The optical properties of the films have been investigated as a function of temperature. The band gap energy and Urbach energy were also investigated as a function of temperature. From the transmittance data analysis the direct band gap ranges from 2.21 eV to 2.34 eV. A dependence of band gap on temperature has been observed and the possible raisons are discussed. Transmission spectra indicates a high transmission coefficient (75 %). Structural analysis revealed that the films showed cubic structure, and the crystallite size decreased at a higher deposition temperature.

Annealing Temperatures

In this research, TiO2 thin films were prepared using a simple sol-gel spin coating process. The films were characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy Dispersive Ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Ultraviolet–visible Spectrophotometer in order to investigate the influence of different annealing temperatures to the structural and optical properties of TiO2. The surface morphology images from FE-SEM display a uniform layer of nanoparticles with a sample of 500 °C possess the most uniform and the visible spherical grain of TiO2 nanoparticles. EDX spectra confirm the presence of Ti and O elements in the samples. The structural properties from the XRD pattern demonstrate that the films are crystalline at a temperature of 500 and 600 °C and the peak (101) intensity was increased as the annealing temperature increased. They exist in the anatase phase at the preferred plane orientation of (101). The calculated crystallite size for 500 and 600 °C samples is 19.22 and 28.37 nm, respectively. The films also possessed excellent absorption in the ultraviolet (UV) region with optical band gap energy ranging from 3.32 to 3.43 eV. These results can be fundamental for the fabrication of a UV sensing device.

A new thin film synthesis route based on the electrochemical oxidation of PcLi2 and deposition of lithium phthalocyanine (PcLi) onto indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate is demonstrated. The effects on the thin film morphology of various parameters such as the electrolysis time, the nature of the solvent, and the oxidation potential are investigated. The thin film growth is studied via x-ray diffraction, potential step experiments, and ex situ scanning electron microscopy. Various morphologies of the x-form thin films are observed for different electrolysis times and solvents. Thin films grown in acetonitrile of thickness above 1 μm consist in unidirectionally oriented needle-shaped crystallites.

Thin CuInSi nanocomposite films were prepared by magnetron co-sputtering. The structures of CuInSi nanocomposite films were detected by X-ray diffraction(XRD); XRD studies of the annealed films indicate the presence of CuInSi, the main crystal phase peak is at 2θ=42.400°. The transmittance (T) spectra of the films were measured by Shimadzu UV-2450 double beam spectrophotometer. The band gap has been estimated from the optical absorption studies and found to be about 1.40 eV, but changes with purity of CuInSi.
