Synthesis and characterization of tellurium-doped CdO nanoparticles thin films by sol–gel method

Chemical spray pyrolysis deposition of transparent and conducting Fe doped CdO thin films for ethanol sensor

“…05-0640. No peaks corresponding to their complex oxides did not detected that suggests the film was deposited without any phase segregation [41][42][43][44]. The calculated lattice constant value for pure CdO is a ¼4.67 Å (standard value of a ¼4.69 Å) and agrees well with standard JCPDS value.…”

Improving the performance of nickel-coated fluorine-doped tin oxide thin films by magnetic-field-assisted laser annealing

“…Since grain size can be considered a good tool for estimating the crystallinity of the films [37], it can thus be stated that the film crystallinity remarkably improved as the laser fluence increased up to 0.9 J/cm 2 , coinciding with the above analysis. For 3 nm, respectively, implying that the crystallinity was deteriorated as compared to the 0.9 J/cm 2 case [38]. This suggests that a higher laser fluence is detrimental to grain growth in the film, which can be explained by the conglomeration of the particles and removing of the Ni layer as shown in the SEM results ( Fig.…”

“…Laser annealing without the presence of the magnetic field had also caused an effective improvement in transmittance and the L-Ni/FTO (0.9 J/cm 2 ) film had an average transmittance of 78.9%. However, owing to the relatively smaller grain size, sparser distribution of particles and more micropores between neighboring particles that can absorb and scatter more light [38,44,45], its average transmittance was significantly lower than that of the ML-Ni/FTO (0.9 J/cm 2 ) film.

Room temperature synthesis and spectral characterizations of Fe3+-doped CdO powder

“…Powder XRD patterns exhibited the cubic phase of CdO [44][45][46][47]19,[48][49][50][51], and the average crystalline size was calculated. From the optical absorption spectrum, the crystal field and inter-electronic repulsion parameters were evaluated as Dq = 855, B = 810, and C = 3000 cm À1 .…”
