Influence of Urbach Energy with Solution Molarity on the Electrical Conductivity in Undoped ZnO Thin Films

Abstract

This paper presents the results concerning the new correlation between electrical conductivity and Urbach energy was investigated as a function of solution molaritie in ZnO thin films. The model proposals were based on experimental data as discussed in our published paper. ZnO thin films were prepared into the ultrasonic spray method with different solution molarities on glass substrate at 350 °C. The measurement data's showing that the electrical conductivity of undoped ZnO thin films can be estimated by varying the Urbach energy and the concentration of ZnO solution, which were found that the correlate values of electrical conductivities are in qualitative agreements with experimental data's. Because, it was in high correlation coefficient can be varied in the range between 0.97-0.99 %. The high agreement was found in the calculation and achieved in Eq. (4) with maximum relative errors values were limited to zero %, due to the sign plus was found between parameters correlates.

Non-linear optical study of hierarchical 3D Al doped ZnO nanosheet arrays deposited by successive ionic adsorption and reaction method

“…For instance, an enhancement of the THG upon an increase in irradiation by electron dose rates was observed [17]. Additionally, these materials may be applied also as photocatalyst and sensors due to their promising photocatalytic, piezoelectric, optical features [9,[18][19][20]. These properties of the ZnO nanostructures will be crucially dependent on the technique used.…”

The calculation of the optical gap energy of ZnXO (X = Bi, Sn and Fe)

“…They are usually prepared on glass substrates for opto-electrical devices because of its low resistivity, high optical transparency, good optical gap energy, as well as excellent adhesion to substrates and chemical stability. Due to the excellent structural and optical properties of doped films, ZnO has been used in a wide variety of applications such as transparent electrodes, ferromagnetism, semiconductors, piezoelectric, optoelectronic, solar cells, spintronics and nanodevices [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. ZnO is one of the most important binary II-VI semiconductor compounds is a natural n-type electrical conductor with a direct energy wide band gap of 3.37 eV at room temperature, a large exciton binding energy (60 meV) [17,18].…”
