Thin films of lead telluride (PbTe) and zinc telluride (ZnTe) have been electrodeposited on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates. Uniform dense films of ∼ 100 nm have been obtained for both materials. The electrochemical deposition procedures for fabricating these films are described. The as-deposited films have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and optical absorption spectrophotometry. Multi layer structures, up to 3 layers, of ZnTe/PbTe films, have been fabricated.

ABSTRACTIndium-Tin Oxide (ITO) heat mirror films implanted into window glass were obtained by post annealing of argon irradiated coatings of In-5w/o Sn produced by reactive evaporation in oxygen. Characterization of coatings has been carried out using TEM and AES. Optical properties have also been evaluated. The production of acceptable thin films requires low energy deposition rates during ion bombardment. This places a limit on the extent of film-substrate mixing, which is required if increased film lifetimes are to be realized.

ABSTRACTIndium tin oxide (ITO) nanowires (NWs) were grown on glass substrates by using ITO sputtering sources (targets) with SnO2 contents in the range of approximately 5.0 to 30.0 wt%. NW growth became apparent at temperatures above 125 °C, and the In, Sn and O contents of the resulting ITO NWs were similar to those of the ITO source. NWs grown from ITO sources containing 5.0 to 12.0 wt% SnO2 had circular or elliptical cross-sections, while those obtained from sources with 12.0 to 30.0 wt% SnO2 exhibited square cross-sections. ITO NWs approximately 2 μm in length were obtained as single crystals with a cubic crystal structure. The resistivity of an ITO NW was measured using four nanoprobes in conjunction with a field emission scanning electron microscope and was found to range from 0.13 to 0.6 μΩ-m, values that were approximately one order of magnitude lower than those of transparent ITO films.

PZO (PbZrO3) coatings with different thicknesses were deposited onto Indium Tin Oxide ITO glass substrates at room temperature by magnetron sputtering technique. UV-Vis absorption spectra method and microhardness testing method were used to measure the thickness of coating. It was proved that the measuring results of film thickness by two kinds of methods were equivalent, and either one method can be alternatively used to determine the thickness of deposited films.
