ITO/Pt, In2O3/Pt and ITO/In2O3 thermocouples were prepared by the radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. The XRD results showed that all annealed ITO In2O3 films at high temperature present a cubic structure. Scanning electron microscope thickness of could reach 1.25 µm 1.21 µm, respectively. ITO/Pt thin film obtain an output voltage 68.7 mV 183.5 mV, respectively, under 900 °C diffe...

The basic aim of this research work is to present the synthesis of ZnSe thin film, by varying doping concentration of selenium oxide on ITO plate using a relatively simple and low cost traditional electrodeposistion technique. The physical properties obtained are similar to that reported earlier. The compatibility of the room temperature ZnSe thin films for structural, optical properties are in...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Transparent conducting oxide Pulsed-laser deposition Epitaxial Zinc indium tin oxide Lattice matched Corundum Thin films of corundum-type In 2 − 2x Zn x Sn x O 3 (cor-ZITO) were grown on lattice-matched substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The (001) of the corundum-type film grew heteroepitaxial to the (001) of a LiNbO 3 substrate with large grains along the...

Polyaniline/ZnO nanocomposite thin films were prepared via an electrochemical synthesis route on ITO coated glass substrates. ZnO nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in to the polyaniline matrix. Interaction between ZnO nanoparticle and polyaniline has been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, PL spectroscopy, AFM and I-V characteristics. The ammonia gas sen...

     Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures thin films were prepared onto glass substrates by the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The ZnO was structured as nanorods (NRs) while TiO2 was formed as nanoflowers plate as confirmed by Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) images. The ZnO/Fe3O4 and TiO2/Fe3O4 nanostructures thin films were prepared v...

A simple filtration technique was developed to prepare large scale free-standing close-packed gold nanoparticle ultrathin films using metal hydroxide nanostrands as both barrier layer and sacrificial layer. As thin as 70 nm, centimeter scale robust free-standing gold nanoparticle thin film was obtained. The thickness of the films could be easily tuned by the filtration volumes. The electronic c...

Propylamino-functionalized mesoporous thin films were synthesized via co-condensation of the oxide precursor tetraethoxysilane (TEOS, Merck) and the amine precursor 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES, Fluka 98%) in the presence of the template (F127 block copolymer, Aldrich, Mw ~13600). The precursor solution was prepared using 0.8 TEOS:0.2 APTES:0.005 F127:24 EtOH:5.2 H2O:0.28 HCl. This solut...

Enhancing and spectrally controlling light absorption is of great practical and fundamental importance. In optoelectronic devices consisting of layered semiconductors and metals, absorption has traditionally been manipulated with the help of Fabry-Pérot resonances. Even further control over the spectral light absorption properties of thin films has been achieved by patterning them into dense ar...

In this work, the one step electrodeposition process was used to prepare Ag-In-Se thin films. The films were deposited at room temperature from a bath containing 1-3x10 M AgNO3, 6x10 -2 M InCl3 and 3x10 -2 M of H2SeO3. The KSCN at a concentration of 0.681 M was used as complexing agent. The pH value of the solution was 1.4. Applied potentials to SCE were chosen between -0.3 V and -1.1 V. Films ...
