Electrical, optical and structural properties of aluminum doped cadmium oxide thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis technique

Luminescence and physical properties of copper doped CdO derived nanostructures

“…5A) attract more atoms during the growth process than the dark ones which might demonstrate voids. Similar trends were reported in literature [26,31] [32]. In our case, it is apparent that copper doping level enlarges the crystallite sizes, while low copper doping level has an effect on the surface morphology of coated CdO films and tends to shape the nano-grains into nanowires.…”

A study of Tin doping effects on physical properties of CdO thin films prepared by sol–gel spin coating method

“…On the other hand, there is a shift of the absorption edge into lower wavelengths as Sn doping level. Similar results were observed for Aluminum doped CdO thin films prepared by the spray pyrolysis method [5].…”

“…The CdO is has acute toxicity (oral, dermal and inhalation) but we use this material due to its unique properties and applications. A variety of techniques were reported for CdO thin film deposition, including pulsed laser deposition [3], metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) [4], spray pyrolysis [5], successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method [6], chemical bath deposition [1], RF magnetron sputtering [7] and sol-gel process [8]. Among these methods the sol-gel spin coating process has several advantages such as simplicity, composition control and homogeneity.…”

Influence of bath temperature on microstructure and NH3 sensing properties of chemically synthesized CdO thin films

“…Bath temperature is one of crucial parameter in chemical bath deposition which affects the surface morphology and the microstructure of the films [9]. CdO thin films were obtained by using several techniques such as spray pyrolysis [10], DC magnetron sputtering [11], sol-gel [12], chemical vapor deposition [13] and chemical bath deposition (CBD) [14], etc. Amongst the above mentioned methods, CBD has its own advantages, such as simplicity, reproducibility, environmental friendliness, cost-effectiveness, etc.…”
