<p>Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited for five different molarity (M) of Zinc acetate hydrated (0.075, 0.1, 0.125, 0.15, 0.175 M) using simple spray technique to study the effect of zinc ion concentration on structure, morphology and optical properties. The XRD patterns of deposited ZnO thin films show hexagonal crystal structure with wurtzite symmetry. The effect of molarity on morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The elemental analysis was studied by using energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The optical absorption was recorded by using systronics double beam spectrophotometer (2201). Crystallite size estimated from XRD data was in nanometre (nm) range; however, films deposited for 0.15 M zinc acetate show maximum crystallite size (66 nm) as compared to other samples. All the films show low absorption in wide range (340-999 nm) of electromagnetic spectrum. However, ZnO film deposited for 0.15 zinc acetate hydrated shows maximum blue shifting of absorption edge and higher band gap (3.8 eV) as compared to other samples.</p>

In this study Al-doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) thin films were successfully deposited on the flexible Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrate by RF magnetron sputtering. The effects of RF power on the crystal structure, morphology, thickness and optical properties of AZO thin films have been investigated. The AZO thin films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), DEKTAK 3 profilometer, UV–Visible spectroscopy and room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The XRD patterns show that increase of RF power leads to increase in the predominant direction along (100) and crystal plane of hexagonal ZnO. Moreover, the transmittance of thin films decreased from 76% to 61% and optical bang gap varied among 3.34[Formula: see text]eV to 3.22[Formula: see text]eV with increasing RF power. The PL spectra show excellent light-emitting characteristics: 375[Formula: see text]nm, 428[Formula: see text]nm, 467[Formula: see text]nm and 505[Formula: see text]nm. The results indicate that the peak intensity increases with increasing RF power from 80[Formula: see text]W to 180[Formula: see text]W.

Cubic ZnTiO3thin films have been prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on n-type (100) Si substrate at different temperatures. The morphological and optical properties of ZnTiO3films in relation to substrate temperatures are investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and AFM as well as SEM in detail. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement shows that all the films have a cubic phase structure and the optimum substrate temperature to form crystalline ZnTiO3thin film is 250 °C. Through SEM and AFM, the particle size in thin films and film surface roughness increase with increasing the substrate temperature. Based on a parameterized TaucLorentz dispersion model, the optical constants and surface roughness of ZnTiO3films related to the substrate temperature are systematically extracted by SE measurement. The surface roughness of the film measured from AFM agrees well with result extracted from SE, which proved that the established SE model is reasonable. With increasing substrate temperature, the refractive index decreases and the main factor in determining the refractive index was deduced to be the surface roughness related to the film packing density. The extinction coefficient of the samples is close to zero, but increases slightly with the increase of the substrate temperature, which is due to the enhancement of scattering effect in the crystalline ZnTiO3film.
