    Structural and optical analysis of SnO2 thin films BY Spray Pyrolysis
    (2020-09-29) S. Roguai
    SnO2 thin films were deposited by ultrasound pyrolysis spray technique at 450°C. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible and Photoluminescence spectroscopy. The tetragonal rutile-type structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction with an average crystallite size of 35 nm. In addition, the FTIR study indicated the existence of two distinct characteristic absorptions which correspond to (0-Sn-O) deformations and (O-Sn) stretching modes. For the optical properties, the band gap energy was determined by WempleDiDomenico model. PL properties are ascribed to the presence of intrinsic defects

    Structure, microstructure and determination of optical constants from transmittance data of co-doped Zn0.90Co0.05M0.05O (M@Al, Cu, Cd, Na) films
    (2014-02-24) S. Roguai
    ZnO, Zn0.95Co0.05O and Zn0.90Co0.05M0.05O (M@Al, Cd, Na, Cu) single phase films have been successfully synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique. Structural analysis by X-ray diffraction show that all the films have hexagonal wurtzite structure with an average crystallite size in the range of 19–25 nm. SEM analysis revealed that Cd and Na preserve the shape of nanopetals observed with ZnO or CoAZnO films, while the doping with Al or Cu promote the formation of dense films constituted of nanorods. By the application of Levenberg–Marquardt least square method, the experimental transmittance data were fitted perfectly with the transmittance data calculated via a combination of Wemple– DiDomenico model, absorption coefficient of an electronic transition and Tauc–Urbach model. The concentration of absorbing centres NCo and oscillator strength f of d–d transition of Co2+ ions are calculated from Smakula’s formula.
