ZnO thin films were deposited on Si(400) substrates by e-beam evaporation technique, and then post-annealed at different annealing temperatures (200-800°C). Dependence of the crystallographic structure, nano-strain, chemical composition and surface physical Morphology of these layers on annealing temperature were studied. The crystallographic structure of films was studied using X-Ray Diffracti...

We report on transparent ZnO/Ag/ZnO and ZnO/Ag/ZnO/Ag/ZnO thin-films were deposited on the glass substrate by RF and DC sputtering for ZnO and Ag targets, respectively. The electrical and optical properties of the single and double Low Emissivity coatings were investigated with respect to the deposition time of Ag mid layer. The visible transmittance remains about 65% for single and 45% for...

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were prepared by directly sputteringCu (In,Ga)Se2 quaternary target consisting of (Cu: 25%, Zn: 12.5%, Sn; 12.5%and S: 50%). The composition and structure of CZTS layers have beeninvestigated after annealing at 200 0C, 350 0C and 500 0C under vacuum. Theresults show that recrystallization of the CZTS thin film occurs and increasingthe grain size with a preferred orie...
