This study presents the fabrication of crystalline indium tin oxide (c-ITO) patterns on glass substrate using laser-induced crystallization followed by chemical etching. In the proposed approach, an amorphous ITO (a-ITO) thin film was transformed into a c-ITO structure over a predetermined area using infrared picosecond fiber laser irradiation with a 500 kHz repetition rate, under a single lase...

The importance and use of transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) has grown significantly over the last decade. The most successful of these materials is tin-doped indium oxide (ITO), which can be found in a wide variety of applications including flat-panel displays, functional glass, solar cells, and lightemitting diodes. When deposited as a thin film, the conductivity of an ITO layer commonly re...

Transparent p-n heterojunction diodes are fabricated using p-type CuYO2:Ca and n-type ZnO:Al thin films on a glass substrate coated with indium-tin oxide (ITO). The contact between the n-ZnO:Al / p-CuYO2:Ca heterojunction is found to be rectifying, while the ITO / ZnO:Al contact is ohmic. The typical ratio of forward to reverse current is 15 in the range -3 to 3V. The diode current-voltage char...

Nanostructured hematite thin films are doped with zirconium successfully and also modified by introducing CNT using sol-gel method for their implementation as photo-electrode in photo-electrochemical (PEC) cell for hydrogen generation. XRD, UV-visible spectroscopy and PEC study techniques are used to characterize the thin films. The PEC responses of thin films are improved by introducing carbon...

Abstract The influences of annealing temperature (473–573 K) on the crystal structure, linear/nonlinear optical parameters, and electrical characteristics 80 nm thick indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) thin films are investigated. Thermal induces structure in ITO. As-prepared annealed ITO have various morphologies depending temperature, such as nanoplates dendritic spherical nanoparticles. As substra...

Highly conductive In-doped CdO/Sn-doped In2O3 (CIO/ITO) bilayer transparent conducting oxide (TCO) thin films were prepared by combining, in sequence, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and ion-assisted deposition (IAD) techniques. The bilayer substrates, with a low In content of ∼19 atom % and a low sheet resistance of only ∼4.9 Ω/0, were investigated as anodes in the bulk-heteroj...

The graphene (GR) has attracted intensive interest due to its two-dimensional and unique physical properties. In the present study, the graphene sheets were synthesized by electrochemical exfoliation of graphite in sulfuric acid solution. The polybithiophene-graphene (PbTh-GR) composite films deposited onto indium tin oxide substrate (ITO/PbTh-GR) have been prepared by the incorporation of ...

The physical and structural characteristics of pentacene thin films on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass were studied. deposited using the thermal evaporation method with deposition times 20, 30, 60 minutes. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images revealed that film thickness increased time, a bulk phase layer appearing at presence thin-film corresponding to 15.5 Å lattice ...

Reversible, erasable, and rewritable nanoscale recording on organic thin films is of practical importance in ultrahigh density information storage. The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a powerful tool that enables nanorecording on organic films by inducing conductance transitions of the organic molecules.1-6 Rotaxane molecules have shown significant potential to be used as the building bl...

In this work, nanostructured TiO2 and Cr-doped TiO2 thin films were deposited on glass substrate through sonochemical-chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The resulting thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy techniques. The TiO2 thin film has nanocubic morphology and ...
