“…This instability caused by tin atoms encouraged the growth of network-winkles for destress the layers and reduce the energy of the system. A similar result was found by B. Bahsi et al [23] in the study of layers of Cu and Mn doped ZnO sol-gel. Furthermore, the surface micrographs clearly showed that the doping displayed an important role for changing and improving the structure of the ZnO films.…”

“…Furthermore, ZnO can be used in photoconductors [3], gas sensors [4] and solar cell applications [5]. The highly preferential orientation along c-axis and wide band-gap energy of films is useful characteristics in optical wave-guides, surface acoustic wave and acoustic-optic device [6].…”

“…Wang et al ., investigated the photoluminescence and Raman characteristics of the Cu‐doped ZnO nano thin films (doping quantity from 2.0% to 4.4%) prepared by Magnetron Sputtering Method (Fig ). Banu Bashi et al ., studied the effects of Mn and Al doping on the microstructures and optical properties of ZnO thin films. The grain size of the films decreases with the increase in Mn doping and increases with the increase in Al doping.…”
