“…There are many reports for Ni doped ZnO thin films deposition and characterization, such as by spin coating (Yildiz et al, 2011), sol-gel immersion (Ismail et al, 2018), magnetron sputtering (Bayram et al, 2019) and spray pyrolysis technique (Ali et al, 2020;Owoeye et al, 2019;khalidi et al, 2019;_ Iskendero glu and Güney, 2017;Rouchdi et al, 2017;Rajeh et al, 2016). Most of the cases, electrical properties of Ni:ZnO thin films are found inconsistent with Ni doping concentration and the optical properties such as transmittance and band gap are incoherent with Ni doping.…”
