Thulium and Ytterbium-Doped Titanium Oxide Thin Films Deposited by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis

Structural and electrical properties of In-doped vanadium oxide thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis

The In-doped vanadium pentoxide nanostructures with different doping levels including 0, 10, 20 and 30 at.% were prepared by the spray pyrolysis technique. The prepared thin films were characterized by the x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD results revealed that the films were crystalline in tetragonal phase. Increasing the In-doping level made the structure...

Cadmium Oxide Thin Films Deposited by a Simplified Spray Pyrolysis Technique for Optoelectronic Applications

Cadmium oxide thin films were fabricated on glass substrates by a simplified and low cost spray pyrolysis technique at different substrate temperatures. The X-ray diffraction study showed that irrespective of substrate temperature all the films exhibits a preferential orientation along the (1 1 1) plane. The values of crystallite size were found to be in the range 20.72 – 29.6 nm. The perce...

Calcium Hydroxyapatite Thin Films on Titanium Substrates Prepared by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis

Calciumhydroxyapatite thin films have been prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition on titanium substrate. The surface morphologies of the films formed at different deposition times were analysed by using SEM. The mechanism of the films formation was investigated in relation to the observed film morphology during the first stages of its formation, as well as to its consolidation to the...

Fabrication and characterization of fluorine-doped thin oxide thin films and nanorod arrays via spray pyrolysis

This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films via intermittent spray pyrolysis utilizing a solution mixture of tin chloride pentahydrate and ammonia fluoride. Utilizing the same solution, nanorod arrays were fabricated via template-based growth. Uniform and crack-free FTO films over 20×20 mm with a thickness up to 900 nm have been routinely a...
