This paper reports on the ZnO film structures obtained by MOCVD method from acetylacetonate of zinc and diethyldithiocarbamate of zinc on silicon substrates at 280-320 оС substrate. The structural, emitting and transport properties of the ZnO films were examined by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electronic microscopy, Photoluminescent microscopy and Current-Voltage methods. The electrical transport mechanisms were analyzed on the base of differential and injection approaches. The ZnO/Si structure with ZnO film obtained was found to be appropriate for use in electronic devices due to their structural and electrical properties.

RF magnetron sputtering technique was employed for deposition of tantalum oxide films on p-type silicon substrates by sputtering of pure tantalum oxide target in the presence of oxygen and argon gases at a temperature of 303 K. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction studies indicated that the films annealed at 773 K were stoichiometric and polycrystalline respectively. The accumulation capacitance for the devices in a structure of Al/Ta2O5/p-Si has been decreased noticeably lower values for the devices annealed at high temperatures. Improved current–voltage characteristics were observed for all annealed devices with Poole–Frenkel conduction mechanism.

Abstract. In this article, nano-ZnO films were deposited on SiO2/Si (100) substrates by RF (radio frequency) magnetron sputtering using high purity (99.99%) ZnO target. The effects of deposition time and annealing temperature have been investigated. XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FSEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy) were employed to characterize the quality of the films. The results show that the ZnO film with thickness of 600nm annealed at 900°C has higher quality of both C-axis orientation and crystallization. And for the Zone film with thickness of 300nm annealed at 850°C, the quality of both C-axis orientation and crystallization is higher than that annealed at 900°C and 950°C.

AbstractThe structural and electrical properties of SrCe1-xYbxO3 ceramics have been studied as a function of temperature and Yb-concentration using x-ray diffraction and impedance techniques. The influence of Yb-dopants on electrical transport and structural disorder has been studied. A correlation between the structural properties, electrical conductivity is observed and discussed. These measurements allow us to determine the mechanism of charge carrier compensation and also the concentration and mobility of the electrical species.

The oriented (002) ZnO films were grown on a- and c-face sapphire by pulsed laser deposition. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the oriented (002) ZnO films were epitaxially grown on the substrate successfully. The sample on a-face sapphire had higher crystal quality. However, the photocatalytic activity for Rhodamine B degradation of ZnO film on c-face sapphire was higher than that on a-face sapphire. The Raman spectrum and XPS analysis suggested that the sample on a-face sapphire had higher concentration of defects. The result of the contact angle measurement revealed that the sample on c-face sapphire had higher surface energy. And the investigation of the surface conductance implied that the higher light conductance was helpful for the photocatalytic activity.

ABSTRACTGa-doped n-type ZnO films were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) on R-plane sapphire substrates. Material characterizations such as photoluminescence (PL), X-ray diffraction (XRD), secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and Hall measurements were carried out to characterize the optical, structural, and electrical properties of the film. Photoconductor devices for ultraviolet (UV) light detection were fabricated by depositing Al (250 nm)/Ti (20 nm) ohmic metal contacts. Linear characteristics were obtained from current-voltage (I-V) measurements that showed response to UV and visible illumination. Voltage dependent photocurrent (PC) spectra and responsivity spectrum were obtained to characterize the detection capability of the device in the UV region.

We have synthesized high-quality, nanoscale ultrathin ZnO films at relatively low temperature using a facile and effective hydrothermal approach. ZnO films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectra (PL), and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The products demonstrated 95% photodegradation efficiency with Congo red (CR) after 40 min irradiation. The photocatalytic degradation experiments of methyl orange (MO) and eosin red also were carried out. The results indicate that the as-obtained ZnO films might be promising candidates as the excellent photocatalysts for elimination of waste water.

Un-doped and (Cu, Al)-doped ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel spin coating technique on glass substrate. The effect of(Cu, Al)incorporation on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the Zinc oxide (ZnO)film was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis spectrophotometer. It has been found that the grain sizes, Optical band gap and the preferred orientation growth of (002) plane were decreased with increasing of (Cu, Al) dopants amount in ZnO films.

Thin polycrystalline ZnO films were grown on silicon substrates by dc reactive magnetron sputtering using zinc oxide targets. The quality of the ZnO layers was assessed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy, Raman scattering, and photoluminescence measurements. The XRD studies and Raman studies revealed that the ZnO films crystallize in the wurtzite structure. Room temperature photoluminescence spectra consisted of a narrow near-band-edge ultraviolet band and a broad defect-related green band with peak positions at 380 and 516 nm, respectively. The main goal of the work was to define the growth conditions to prepare zinc oxide films with adequate properties to be used in electroluminescent devices. The films exhibited the best surface appearance with a 40:1 argon/oxygen flow rate, a total pressure of 1.5×10−3 mbar, and a substrate temperature of 230 °C. The structural and luminescence properties improved noticeably with the thermal annealing processes at 800 °C for 1 h.

AbstractThe microstructure of pentacene thin films deposited by thermal evaporation is studied by X-ray diffraction. The transmittance of these films evidences different molecular orbital levels and their related excitonic states. Pentacene photodiodes have been also fabricated on ITO-coated glass substrates with aluminium top electrodes. The current voltage characteristics of such devices are discussed paying special attention to the strongly marked space-charge limited regime. This has been related to trapping in an exponential distribution of localised states in the gap of pentacene. The analysis of the characteristic offers valuable information about such distribution of traps. Finally, the external-quantum-efficiency of these photodiodes shows antibatic features, which evidence the importance of excitonic states in the photovoltaic conversion in pentacene.

Abstract In this study, structural and electrical properties of Ag/TiO2/n-InP/Au Schottky barrier diodes are investigated. Particle size, d- spacing, micro-strain, ideality factor and barrier heights of two samples are determined for two different interfacial TiO2 layer thickness. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and current-voltage (I-V) measurements are employed for mentioned parameters. It is seen that sample with 60 Å TiO2 interfacial layer is a more ideal diode. The reason for this is argued in main text and conclusion section.
