Three novel tin(iv)corrole complexes have been prepared and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques including single crystal X-ray structural analysis. Packing diagrams of the tin(iv)corroles revealed that corrolato-tin(iv)-chloride molecules are interconnected by intermolecular C-HCl hydrogen bonding interactions. HCl distances are 2.848 Å, 3.051 Å, and 2.915 Å, respectively, for the...

Thin films of indium doped zinc sulfide (ZnS) for different indium (In) concentrations (x=0.0 - 0.8) were deposited onto glass substrate by spray pyrolysis method at 523K temperature. Aqueous solution of zinc acetate, indium chloride and thiorea were used to deposit the In-Zn-S film. The deposited thin films were characterized by Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...

Two types of periodic nanostructures, self-organized nanodots and nanolines, were fabricated on the surfaces of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) films using femtosecond laser pulse irradiation. Multiple periodicities (approximately 800 nm and 400 nm) were clearly observed on the ITO films with nanodot and nanoline structures and were identified using two-dimensional Fourier transformation patterns. Both ...

A molecular crystal of zinc octakis(â-decoxyethyl) porphyrin (ZnODEP) is an insulator in the dark and becomes conductive under irradiation. An externally controllable charge trapping and detrapping within ZnODEP thin films (∼1 μm) occurs when symmetrical sandwich cells of ITO/ZnODEP/ITO are irradiated under a proper bias voltage between two parallel ITO (indium-tin oxide) electrodes. The trappi...

Graphene oxide (GO) thin films were simply deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate via a low-voltage electrodeposition. The GO and GO thin films were characterized by Zeta Potential, X-ray diffraction, Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrosc...

   In this work, the effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure, morphology, and optical properties of Cu-doped nanostructured MnO2 thin films were studied. The thin films were prepared by sol-gel spin-coating technique on glass substrates and annealed in the air ambient at 300, 350, 400 and 450 °C temperatures. The structural, morphological and optical properties of t...

Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) demonstrates spectacular changes in the morphology of thin films of copper (II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) deposited on gold coated quartz substrates at different substrate temperatures, and on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates at room temperature followed by post deposition annealing at various temperatures under normal atmosphere. The nature of s...

Transparent conductive oxide (TCO) thin films are cornerstones in many optoelectronic applications including displays, photovoltaics and touchscreens. In these devices, with simultaneous high optical transparency electrical conductivity needed. Ideally, heat generated during normal device operation must ideally be compensated for to achieve optimum functionality. One possible way address the th...

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) films are widely used as transparent electrodes in electronic displays and solar cells. However, the small fracture strain of brittle ITO films poses significant challenge to their applications in flexible electronics devices that often undergo large deformation. Inspired by recent development of inorganic/organic hybrid permeation barriers for flexible electronics, we de...
