The ZnSe thin films are co-deposited in the ZnSO4, Na2SeO3 and sodium citrate acidic solution, and the mechanism of the ultrasonic and pulse electrodeposition for ZnSe films is explained by the electrode-solution interface action model. Ultrasonic increases the activation energy of the [ZnCit]- and HSeO3 - and improves flow field of the solution between electrode and solution interface. The pulse current promotes the diffusion of solution and advantageously realizes the co-deposition of ZnSe films. The ZnSe thin films are pulse electrodeposited in zinc sulfate, selenite sodium and sodium citrate acidic solution with the action of ultrasonic. Finally, the ZnSe films have been characterized by the scanning electron microscope (SEM), the energy dispersion analysis of X-ray (EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

The principle, of which the ZnSe thin films are co-deposited in the ZnSO4 and Na2SeO3 acidic solution by electrochemistry, is explained by the electrode-solution interface action model. The current density and the duty cycle of the pulse current promote the diffusion of solution and affect the co-deposition of the ZnSe films. The ZnSe thin films are pulse electrodeposited in zinc sulfate, selenite sodium and sodium citrate acidic solution. The sodium citrate, which is one kind of complex agent, simultaneous also one kind of buffer agent and has certain buffer action, would affect the quality of the ZnSe films. Finally, the ZnSe films have been characterized by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the energy dispersion analysis of X-ray (EDAX).

AbstractThe ferroelectric thin films of bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) have been prepared by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition ( MOCVD) technique at atmosphere. The triphenyl bismuth (Bi(CaH5 ) 3)and tetrabutyl titanate (C16H36O4Ti) were used as precursors. Dense Bi4Ti3 O12 films with smooth shinning surface have been grown on Si( 100) substrates at 550°C whithout postannealing. The as- grown films were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion analysis ( EDAX). The films showed well-ordered crystallinity with an (001)preffered orientation. The influence of growth parameters on deposition rate, composition and morphology of as-grown films was also discussed.

The influence of CO2 pulsed laser annealing on microstructural properties and crystal defects of nanocrystalline ZnSe thin films have been studied. X-ray diffraction was utilized to study these issues. Laser annealing led to enhance the film quality and decrease the crystal defects.

Quantum dots ZnSe have been deposited through chemical bath deposition in thin films form. The nanoscal grain size of as-deposited and thermal treated ZnSe films have been investigated by X ray Diffraction. And optical band gap of those samples have been obtained from absorption spectrum. Both as-deposited and annealed films were with nanocryatlline grain smaller than the Bohr excitonic radius and showed blue shifts of bandgap in quantum size effects. The blue shifted optical bandgap versus grain size has been modeled theoretically.

ZnS thin films were deposited on glass substrates using chemical bath deposition. The zinc sulfate and thiourea were used as precursors along with a stable complexing agent of sodium citrate in ammonia/ammonium chloride (pH=10.5) buffer solution. The ratio of Zn and complexing agent was changed from 6:1 to 1:1 by varying concentrations of the complexing agent. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and UV-vis spectrophotometer were used to investigate the structure, micrograph and optical characteristics of the ZnS thin films respectively. The concentration of sodium citrate has an effect on the crystalline size and crystallization. For the as-deposited thin films, the values of transmittances and Eg are about 85% and 3.8 eV respectively. However, they are decreased to 75% and 3.4 eV respectively after annealing. In addition, the concentration of the complexing agent has no remarkable influence on both the transmittance and the energy gap. The results show that the ZnS thin films with resistivity of 4.34×104 Ωcm are suitable for optoelectronic applications.

Solid state reactions in sputter-deposited Nb/Al multilayer thin films have been studied by transmission and analytical electron microscopy (TEM/AEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Nb/Al multilayer thin films for TEM studies were sputter-deposited on (1102)sapphire substrates. The periodicity of the films is in the range 10-500 nm. The overall composition of the films are 1/3, 2/1, and 3/1 Nb/Al, corresponding to the stoichiometric composition of the three intermetallic phases in this system.Figure 1 is a TEM micrograph of an as-deposited film with periodicity A = dA1 + dNb = 72 nm, where d's are layer thicknesses. The polycrystalline nature of the Al and Nb layers with their columnar grain structure is evident in the figure. Both Nb and Al layers exhibit crystallographic texture, with the electron diffraction pattern for this film showing stronger diffraction spots in the direction normal to the multilayer. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all films are dominated by the Al(l 11) and Nb(l 10) peaks and show a merging of these two peaks with decreasing periodicity.

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.

AFM studies showed an inhibition of grain growth with increase in indium concentration. SEM studies of pure  SnO2 and  Indium doped tin oxide (SnO2:In) ) thin films showed that the films with regular distribution of particles and they have spherical shape.  Optical properties such as  Transmission , optical band-gap have been measured and calculated.

Lead selenide PbSe thin films of different thicknesses (300, 500, and 700 nm) were deposited under vacuum using thermal evaporation method on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that increasing of thickness lead to well crystallize the prepared samples, such that the crystallite size increases while the dislocation density decreases with thickness increasing. A.C conductivity, dielectric constants, and loss tangent are studied as function to thickness, frequency (10kHz-10MHz) and temperatures (293K-493K). The conductivity measurements confirm confirmed that hopping is the mechanism responsible for the conduction process. Increasing of thickness decreases the thermal activation energy estimated from Arhinus equation is found to decrease with thickness increasing. The increase of thickness lead to reduce the polarizability α while the increasing of temperature lead to increase α.
