Aluminum Zinc co-doped Tin Oxide (AZSO) thin film was grown by sol-gel spin coating techniques onto a glass substrate using various doping concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 wt%) and the effect of doping on each sample were studied using structural analysis; X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern, gravimetric method; thin film thickness and UV photo-spectrometer; optical properties. The results of the XRD were revealed that all the peaks have a tetragonal phase of SnO2, which were oriented at the 110, 101, and 211 planes. The film thickness was observed to vary with doping concentration. In the visible region, all the film samples were exhibited at average transmittance. The coefficient of absorption was gradually increased with an increase in photon energy at a certain level with a decrease in the absorption coefficient as the photon energy increases further. At 550-800 nm range of wavelength, a high extinction coefficient (k) was recorded and the refractive index curves show regular dispersion behavior. The optical conductivity of the films followed a similar pattern, which showed that conductivity increased to a peak at 3.60 eV. The energy bandgap of the film samples (AZSO1 - AZSO5) is 4.095 eV, 4.103 eV, 4.087 eV, 4.114 eV, and 4.106 eV, respectively. The studies show that the properties of Al-Zn co-doped SnO2 films can be explored for optoelectronic applications.

Al co-doped ZnCoO thin film has been prepared by a sol-gel method. The structural and optical properties of the sample were investigated. X-ray diffraction and UV absorption spectroscopy analyses indicate that Al3+ and Co2+ substitute for Zn2+ without changing the wurtzite structure. With the Al doping, the visible emission increased and the UV emission decreased, which is attributed to the increase of O vacancies and Zn interstitials.

Strontium substituted hydroxyapatite(SrHAp) were fabricated both in the form of powder as reference and thin film by using inorganic precursor reaction. The sol-gel process has been used for the deposition of SrHAp layer on stainless steal 316L substrate by spin coating technique, after that the films were annealed in air at various temperatures. The chemical composition of SrHAp is represented (SrxCa1-x)5(PO4)3OH, where x is equal to 0, 0.5 and 1.0. Investigations of the phase structure of SrHAp were carried out by using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The results showed that strontium is incorporated into hydroxyapatite where its substitution for calcium increases in the lattice parameters, and Sr3(PO4)2 can be detected at 900°C. The SEM micrographs showed that SrHAp films exhibited porous structure before develop to a cross-linking structure.

Abstract: The growth of tin oxide thin film by Aluminum doping and Fluorine has been carried out with the sol-gel spin coating technique. The growth aims to determine the quality of the thin layer formed based on variations in doping aluminum and fluorine. The basic ingredients used were SnCl2.2H2O, while the doping materials used were Al (Aluminium) and F (Fluorine) with variations in dopant concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25)%. The growth of a thin layer using measured glass (10x10x 3) mm as a substrate. The growth of thin films includes substrate preparation, sol-gel making, thin film making, and heating processes. The growth of thin layer was dripped on a glass substrate with sol-gel spin coating technique at 1 M sol concentration and treated with maturation for 24 hours. The next step is making a thin layer using a spin coater at a speed of 2000 rpm for 3 minutes. After that, the substrate is heated in an oven at 100°C for 60 minutes. The results showed that the transparency level of the tin oxide layer increases with increasing amounts of doping Aluminum and fluorine. Key words: Aluminum, Fluorine, Sol-gel, Spin Coating, Thin Film, Tin Oxide

A thin layer of tin oxide with doping Fluorine was synthesized using the sol-gel spin coating method. The synthesis aims to determine the quality of thin layers formed based on temperature variations and the number of layers. The basic material used is SnCl2.2H2O, while the doping material used is NH4F with variations in concentrations of dopants 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%. The substrate used is glass with a size of 10 x 10 x 3 mm. The synthesis of the thin layer includes substrate preparation, sol-gel making, thin film making, and heating process. At this stage SnO2:F is deposited on a glass substrate with sol-gel spin coating technique at the concentration of sol 1 M with doping levels of Fluorine 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%, and treated with maturation for 24 hours. Making a thin layer using a spin coater at a speed of 2000 rpm for 3 minutes. The layer made consists of one layer, two layers, three layers and four layers. The resulting layer shows that the higher the doping percentage, the higher the transparency of the layer. In addition, the more the number of layers, the lower the transparency level. Keywords: Thin Film, Tin Oxide, Fluorine, Sol-gel, Spin Coating

Thin films of iron (Fe)-doped titanium dioxide (Fe:TiO[Formula: see text] were prepared by sol–gel spin coating technique and further calcined at 450[Formula: see text]C. The structural and optical properties of Fe-doped TiO2 thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis) and atomic force microscopic (AFM) techniques. The XRD results confirm the nanostructured TiO2 thin films having crystalline nature with anatase phase. The characterization results show that the calcined thin films having high crystallinity and the effect of iron substitution lead to decreased crystallinity. The SEM investigations of Fe-doped TiO2 films also gave evidence that the films were continuous spherical shaped particles with a nanometric range of grain size and film was porous in nature. AFM analysis establishes that the uniformity of the TiO2 thin film with average roughness values. The optical measurements show that the films having high transparency in the visible region and the optical band gap energy of Fe-doped TiO2 film with iron (Fe) decrease with increase in iron content. These important requirements for the Fe:TiO2 films are to be used as window layers in solar cells.

<p class="AbstractEnglish"><strong>Abstra</strong><strong>ct</strong><strong>:</strong><strong> </strong>Preparation of Barium Titanate thin film (BaTiO3) has been done on Quartz substrate using sol gel method with spin coating technique. A thin film BaTiO3 wase made with a mole variation of 0.4 mol and 0.8 mol at a rotation speed of 3000 rpm. The samples were annealed at 400 ° C with 30 minutes stand-up time and at 900 ° C with 2 hours stand-up time and a heating rate of 5 ° C per minute. Characterization of optical properties samples was performed using UV-Vis spectrometers and characterization of microstructure samples using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The particle size was calculated by Scherer's formula. Based on the results of the analysis it was found that mole variation of the solution influenced the absorbance value, intensity, crystality level and BaTiO3 thin film particle size. The greater mole of BaTiO<sub>3</sub> solution the higher then absorbance value. The fewer then number of layers the greater then diffraction peak intensity. More number of layers the greater the level of crystallinity and particle size.</p><p class="KeywordsEngish"> </p><p class="AbstrakIndonesia"><strong>Abstra</strong><strong>k: </strong>Pembuatan lapisan tipis Barium Titanat (BaTiO<sub>3</sub>) telah dilakukan  diatas substrat Quartz menggunakan metode sol gel dengan teknik spin coating.

A sol–gel spin coating procedure was used to produce cadmium oxide (CdO) thin film on the precleaned glass substrate. The structural, morphological and electrical properties of the produced film were specified by XRD, SEM and two-probe method. The polycrystalline nature with cubical structure of the cadmium oxide (CdO) thin film was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirms the uniform formation of film. The semiconducting character of the film was confirmed by electrical conductivity (direct current) measurement in dark. The Hall effect measurement of cadmium oxide film confirms the n-type conductivity.
