Temperature dependence of the optical band gap of sol-gel derived Fe-doped ZnO films

Influence of Cu‐Doping on Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of High‐Quality ZnO Thin Films Obtained by Spin‐Coating Technique

“…[35] Contrary to the decrease in the dislocation density and the strain, which indicates that there is an improvement in crystal quality by increasing the Cu concentration, which occupies the substitution positions of Zn atoms in the crystal lattice. [37] These results are almost the same observed in the research on Fe-doped ZnO [38] and V-doped ZnO films prepared by the sol-gel method. [39] The negative values of stress on c-axis indicate that the crystal is under a compressive state.…”

Temperature Dependent Spectroscopic Properties of Cu+ and Dy3+ Co‐Doped Phosphate Glass: Band Gap Analysis and Cu Nanocluster‐Enhanced Dy3+ Luminescence

“…Trends similar to the observed in Figure have been reported for temperature dependence studies of absorption edges in amorphous films, which are typically analyzed through band gap energy estimates . Accordingly, the data in Figure was subjected to the determination of optical band gaps through Tauc plots in order to facilitate the analysis.…”

Physical properties of spray pyrolysed ZnO thin films obtained from nitrate, acetate and chloride precursors: Comparative study for Solar Cell Applications

“…Overall, ZnO is of importance for fundamental research, and also relevant for various fields of industrial and high technological applications such as gas sensors [5], varistors [6], piezoelectric [7], UV light detector and Schottky diodes [8]. Various ZnO nanostructures, such as nanorods have been fabricated by thermal evaporation [9], chemical vapor deposition [10], sol-gel method [11], electrochemically deposition, ion beam assisted deposition [12], rf magnetron sputtering deposition [13], metalorganic chemical vapor deposition [14] and spray pyrolysis aqueous solution method [15]. Among these methods, pulverized pyrolysis is particularly suitable and useful for large surface applications, as it has proven to be a simple and inexpensive method.…”
