“…Much research effort has been devoted to decrease the growth temperature. Recently, ZnO thin films grown from zinc acetylacetonate ethanol solution at a only 200°C have been reported [12,13]. Unfortunately, this temperature is still not low enough for the growth to produce high quality ZnO thin films on most flexible transparent substrates.…”

A low-temperature method for the large-scale growth of ZnO thin films on flexible substrates was realized using a mist chemistry vapor deposition setup. We prepared and analyzed ZnO thin films grown on flexible PET/ITO in the temperatures range of 125-250°C. The growth of ZnO crystallites was qualitatively investigated with respect to nucleation and substrate temperature. We observed a mixed phase in the ZnO thin films prepared at 125 and 150°C. We conclude that the optimal substrate temperature for optimal ZnO thin films growth is between 150-200°C. Our results show that the photovoltaic performance of an organic solar cell (OSC) is strongly dependent on both composition and morphology. To demonstrate its application on flexible organic optoelectronic devices, a large OSC with as-grown ZnO thin film as cathode buffer layer was successfully prepared.

“…Studies have shown that by adding a small percentage of aluminium into the ZnO coating, the sheet resistivity can be varied by over an order of magnitude [17,18]. By measuring samples with varying time constants we will be further able to investigate whether the level of charging noise scales with 1/τ 0 as predicted by the Weiss theory.…”

Abstract. Future gravitational wave detectors could have their sensitivity significantly limited, at frequencies below 10 Hz, by the presence of fluctuating electrostatic charges on the dielectric surfaces of the detector optics. A confirmed observation of the effect of fluctuating charges, or charging noise, in a gravitational wave detector has still to be made and it has never been experimentally verified by any other means. This paper presents a direct measurement of the fluctuating force noise created by moving charges on a dielectric surface using a servo controlled torsion balance. The results confirm that the fluctuating force noise caused by excess charges can be best described by a Markov process with a single correlation time and has a frequency dependence of f −1 .

“…It can be seen that the Mg x Zn 1-x O:Al films become stronger (002) preferred orientation with increasing substrate temperatures, and highly preferred orientation of (002) reflection in Mg x Zn 1-x O:Al films have been observed when the substrate temperature is over 450°C. However, this phenomenon had not been observed in ZnO:Al synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis [10]. Figure 4 is the electric resistivities of the Mg x Zn 1-x O:Al films with various Mg doping contents when the substrate temperature is 350°C.…”
