Sol–gel derived ZnO–CeO2 thin films on glass substrate

Effects of thermal treatment and pH on electrical and physical properties of NdAlO3 dielectric thin films using sol–gel method

“…This may be due to higher surface kinetic energies being produced by a higher level of thermal treatment and possibly by damaging the microstructure. 24,25) On the other hand, the results also reveal that crystallinity decreases as the films deposit from sol of higher pH. This means that the films deposited from the sol of higher pH have non-uniform grain growth as compared with those deposited from the sol of lower pH.…”

Effect of rf power on the properties of magnetron sputtered CeO2 thin films

“…6. The surface morphology of the deposited film is related to the mobilities of the deposited atoms at the growing film surface and depends on the processing parameters such as preheating temperature, rf power and time of coating [12]. The AFM images depicted in the film microstructure is characterized by high-density columnar structure with low surface roughness.…”

“…Deposition of CeO 2 thin films can be achieved by various techniques such as electron beam evaporation [10], sol-gel [11,12], rf sputtering [13], pulsed laser deposition [14], chemical solution deposition [15], laser chemical vapour deposition [16], atomic layer deposition [17] and spray pyrolysis [18]. Among these techniques, rf sputtering is the major industrial process due to its remarkable applications in various fields.…”

Mechanochemical Synthesis of Nanodispersed Compositions on the Base of Zn, Ce and Mo Oxides

“…Interest to two-component oxide systems based on Zn, Ce and Mo oxides is determined by their unique properties, because they are used in modern electronics, adsorption, catalysis, photocatalytic process, etc. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. The analysis of results presented in these publications shows that the use of traditional methods of synthesis leads to the formation of new nanodimensional compounds in oxides' mixtures consisting of Zn, Ce and Mo oxides, which improve greatly their functional characteristics.…”
