Growth and physical properties of ZnxCd1−xO thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis technique

Preparation and characterization of nanostructured ZnO thin film by electrophoretic deposition from ZnO colloidal suspensions

“…Its unique electrical and optical properties have made it popular in piezoelectric transducers, surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, laser diodes, photoconductive UV detectors and gas sensors, etc. Various methods have been developed to fabricate ZnO films, such as metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOVCD) [1,2], molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [3], sol-gel deposition [4,5], spray pyrolysis [6] and pulsed laser deposition (PLD) [7]. There are some advantages and limitations for each of the above methods.…”

The effects of thermal annealing on properties of MgxZn1−xO films by sputtering

“…Thus, many researchers have made much efforts primarily aiming at the use of ZnO for optoelectronic application in the blue and UV region, e.g., light emitting and laser diodes. Meanwhile, the modulation of ZnO band gap, which is mostly focused on development of Mg x Zn 1−x O or Cd y Zn 1−y O alloy [4,5], is considered as one of the requirements in designing ZnO-based optoelectronic devices. Especially, the different Mg compositions in Mg x Zn 1−x O films could regulate the band gap in the wide range (3.4-4.0 eV), which can be used as the barrier layer in device heterostructures [4].…”

Metal Chalcogenide Nanocrystalline Solid Thin Films

“…Devshette et al 50 prepared thin films of Zn x Cd 1-x O by this deposition process. The precursor solution was prepared by mixing certain volumes of Cd(CH 3 COO) 2 .2H 2 O (0.1 M) and Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 AE The solution flow rate, carrier gas pressure and the distance between the substrate and the nozzle were also controlled.…”
