ZnSe thin films were deposited by pulsed laser ablation on quartz substrate. The films were investigated by different characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, Raman microspectroscopy, absorption, reflectivity, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The XRD analysis showed the formation of cubic phase polycrystalline films. The Raman spectra confirmed the formation of ZnSe by the presence of TO and LO peaks at 202 cm-1 and 252 cm-1, respectively. The analysis of absorption and reflectivity measurements permits evaluation of the band gap and excitonic energy at low temperature and the temperature dependence of the energy gap. The photoluminescence measurements indicated the possibility of obtaining intrinsic band-band radiative emission up to room temperature. PACS 52.38.Mf; 78.55.-m; 78.55.Et  相似文献

ABSTRACT

ZnTe (Zinc Telluride) is a potential semiconducting material for many optoelectronic devices like solar cells and back contact material for CdTe-based solar cells. In the present study, ZnTe thin films were prepared by thermal evaporation technique and then irradiated with 120?MeV Si9+ ions at different fluences. These films are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV–Visible spectroscopy techniques. XRD study confirms increased crystallinity and grain growth for post-irradiated ZnTe thin films for fluences, up to 1?×?1011 ions cm?2. However, the grain size and crystallinity decreased for higher fluence-exposed samples. SEM images confirm the observed structural properties. Modification of the surface morphology of the film due to the ion irradiation with different fluences is studied. Optical band gap of film is decreased from 2.31?eV (pristine) to 2.17?eV after irradiation of Si9+ ions.  相似文献

ZnSe thin films have been deposited on high cleaned glass substrate by spray pyrolysis technique within the glass substrate temperature range (400 C to 450 C). The structural properties of ZnSe thin films have been investigated by (XRD) X-ray diffraction techniques. The X-ray diffraction spectra showed that ZnSe thin films are polycrystalline and have a cubic (zinc blende) structure. The most preferential orientation is along the (111) direction for all spray deposited ZnSe films together with orientations in the (220) and (311) planes also being abundant. The film thickness was determined by an interferometric method. The lattice parameter, grain size, microstrain and dislocation densities were calculated and correlated with the substrate temperature (TS). The optical properties of ZnSe thin films have been investigated by UV/VIS spectrometer and the direct band gap values were found to be in the region of 2.65 eV to 2.70 eV. The electrical properties of ZnSe thin films have been investigated using the Van der Pauw method and the high quality ZnSe thin films were observed to develop at 430 C with a resistivity of 56,4×105 ohm cm, a conductivity of 1.77×10-7 (Ω cm)-1 and a hall mobility of 0.53 cm2/Vsec.  相似文献

Zinc selenide (ZnSe) thin film have been deposited using chemical bath method on non-conducting glass substrate in a tartarate bath containing zinc sulfate, ammonia, hydrazine hydrate, sodium selenosulfate in an aqueous alkaline medium at 333 K. The deposition parameter of the ZnSe thin film is interpreted in the present investigation. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical absorption, electrical measurements, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The ZnSe thin layers grown with polycrystalline zinc blende system along with some amorphous phase present in ZnSe film. The direct optical band gap ‘Eg’ for the film was found to be 2.81 eV and electrical conductivity in the order of 10−8(Ω cm)−1 with n-type conduction mechanism.  相似文献

HfNxOy thin films were deposited on Si substrates by direct current sputtering at room temperature. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). SEM indicates that the film is composed of nanoparticles. AFM indicates that there are no sharp protrusions on the surface of the film. XRD pattern shows that the films are amorphous. The field electron emission properties of the film were also characterized. The turn-on electric field is about 14 V/μm at the current density of 10 μA/cm2, and at the electric field of 24 V/μm, the current density is up to 1 mA/cm2. The field electron emission mechanism of the HfNxOy thin film is also discussed.  相似文献

The present investigation is related to the deposition of single-phase nano-sheets spinel nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) thin films onto glass substrates using a chemical method. Nano-sheets nickel ferrite films were deposited from an alkaline bath containing Ni2+ and Fe2+ ions. The films were characterized for their structural, surface morphological and electrical properties by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and two-point probe electrical resistivity techniques. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that NiFe2O4 nano-sheets are oriented along (3 1 1) plane. The FT-IR spectra of NiFe2O4 films showed strong absorption peaks around 600 and 400 cm−1 which are typical for cubic spinel crystal structure. Microstructural study of NiFe2O4 film revealed nano-sheet like morphology with average sheet thickness of 30 nm. The room temperature electrical resistivity of the NiFe2O4 nano-sheets was 107 Ω cm.  相似文献

In this study, nanostructured indium selenide (InSe) thin films were deposited on Indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrate using electrochemical deposition (ECD) from aqueous solution containing In(SO4)3.H2O and SeO2. The effects of deposition potential (−0.70 to −1.35 V), time (30-3600 s), temperature (25-80 °C) and pH (2.58 for A samples; 2 for B samples and 1.45 for C samples) on growth of the InSe thin films were examined in terms of their structural, morphological and optical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the InSe thin films are in polycrystalline structure. It was found that the values of grain size decreased and the full width half maximum (FWHM) values increased with the increasing deposition potential. According to the absorption measurements, optical properties of the thin films varied with changes in deposition conditions. Based on the atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, surface morphology of the thin films was influenced by deposition potential and pH of the electrolyte, and non-homogeneous depositions distributed across the entire surface were observed. In addition, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses were used to further examine crystal quality, vibration, chemical binding conditions, In/Se orientation and structure of the prepared InSe thin films. When Raman results are examined, the B12 sample shows a more intensity and narrow peak at 248 cm−1. XPS measurements sowed that A6 sample exhibited more growth in low potential for a long time and better film stoichiometry compared to the other three samples. Also, FT-IR studies prove the presence of InSe. According to the results, the film did not form at low temperatures and short times. However, the film formation began with the increasing deposition temperature and time at the low potential value of −0.730 V. But, it is clear that a high quality film can be obtained in cathodic potential with −1.3 V and shorter deposition time with 300 s at room temperature respectively. Overall results showed that the high quality thin films can be obtained by the ECD technique. However, deposition conditions must be sensitively adjusted to control morphology of the electrodeposited nanoparticles.  相似文献

The effects of W doping on the characteristical properties of SnO2 thin films prepared by sol–gel spin coating method were investigated. The SnO2 thin films were deposited at various W doping ratios and characterized by various measurements. XRD studies indicated that the undoped and W doped SnO2 films had cubic and tetragonal phases. The SEM images of WTO thin films showed cubic shaped nanocubes corresponding to cubic phase and the smaller particles corresponding to tetragonal phase were formed on the film surfaces, and their distributions and sizes were dependent on the W doping ratio. EDX spectroscopy analyses showed that the calculated and participated atomic ratios of W/(W + Sn) (at.%) in the starting solution and in the WTO thin films were almost close. It was found that the sheet resistance depended on W doping ratio and 2.0 at.% W doped SnO2 (WTO) exhibited lowest value of sheet resistance (7.11 × 103 Ω/cm2).  相似文献

Nanocrystalline SnO2 thin films were deposited by simple and inexpensive chemical route. The films were characterized for their structural, morphological, wettability and electrochemical properties using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy techniques (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), contact angle measurement, and cyclic voltammetry techniques. The XRD study revealed the deposited films were nanocrystalline with tetragonal rutile structure of SnO2. The FT-IR studies confirmed the formation of SnO2 with the characteristic vibrational mode of Sn-O. The SEM studies showed formation of loosely connected agglomerates with average size of 5-10 nm as observed from TEM studies. The surface wettability showed the hydrophilic nature of SnO2 thin film (water contact angle 9°). The SnO2 showed a maximum specific capacitance of 66 F g−1 in 0.5 Na2SO4 electrolyte at 10 mV s−1 scan rate.  相似文献

Cu2S thin films deposited on glass substrate by chemical bath deposition were studied at different deposition temperatures and times. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), the Hall Effect measurement system and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy indicate that both deposition temperature and time are important to obtain polycrystalline thin films. XRD showed that the polycrystalline Cu2S thin films have monoclinic structure. Meanwhile, the structural variations were analyzed using SEM. EDX analysis results of the thin film showed that the atomic ratio of Cu/S was close to 2:1. It was found from the Hall Effect measurement that the resistivity varied from 4.59?×?10?3 to 13.8?×?10?3 (Ω?cm). The mobility values of the Cu2S thin films having p-type conductivity varied from 15.16 to 134.6?cm2/V.s. The dark electrical resistivity measurements were studied at temperatures in the range 303–423?K. The electrical activation energies of Cu2S thin films were calculated by using Arrhenius plots, from which two different activation energy values are estimated for each thin film. Using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy (Ultraviolet/visible), the direct and indirect allowed optical band gap values were determined to lie between 2.16 and 2.37?eV and 1.79 and 1.99?eV, respectively. In addition, the values of the refractive index (n) and the extinction coefficient (k) were determined.  相似文献

Thin films of Cu2S on opaque gold layers and quartz substrates at the temperature of 393 K were deposited by a thermal evaporation technique. The surface morphology of the Cu2S thin films at different thicknesses is investigated by AFM. It is seen that all the films are composed of highly coordinated spherical nano-sized particles well adhered to the substrate. The transmittance and reflectance spectra of Cu2S thin films on the quartz substrate were recorded by a UV–visible spectrophotometer. The results show that the thermally evaporated Cu2S thin films have the characteristic transmittance and reflectance suitable for optoelectronic applications. The stoichiometry and surface morphology of a grown Cu2S thin film were confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The dependence of the refractive index and the extinction coefficient on the photon energy for both the surface film and the opaque gold layer have been determined by ellipsometry. From the spectral behaviour of the absorption coefficient at two distinct absorption regions, a dual-band scheme of optical absorption for a Cu2S thin film is described. The indirect and direct edges of Cu2S are found to be about at 0.91 eV and 2.68 eV, respectively.  相似文献

Extremely thin sheets of carbon atoms called graphene have been predicted to possess excellent thermal properties, electrical conductivity, and mechanical stiffness. To harness such properties in composite materials for multifunctional applications, one would require the incorporation of graphene. In this study, new thin film composites were created using layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of polymer-coated graphitic nanoplatelets. The positive and negative polyelectrolytes used to cover graphene sheets were poly allylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and poly sodium 4-styrenesulfonate (PSS). The synthesized poly allylamine hydrochloride-graphene (PAH-G) and poly sodium 4-styrenesulfonate-gaphene (PSS-G) were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The multilayer films created by spontaneous sequential adsorption of PAH-G and PSS-G were characterized by ultra violet spectroscopy (UV-vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and AFM. The electrical conductivity of the graphene/polyelectrolyte multilayer film composites measured by the four-point probe method was 0.2 S cm−1, which was sufficient for the construction of advanced electro-optical devices and sensors.  相似文献

GaN films have been grown on Si(111) substrates with a thin AlN buffer layer using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) assisted by gas discharge. The crystalline quality, surface morphology and optoelectronic properties of the deposited films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and room-temperature Van der Pauw–Hall measurements. The influence of the deposition temperature in the range 637–1037 K on the crystallinity of GaN films, the laser incident energy in the range 150–250 mJ/pulse on the surface morphology and the optoelectronic properties were systematically studied. The XRD analysis shows that the crystalline quality of the GaN films improves with increasing deposition temperature to 937 K, but further increase of the deposition temperature to 1037 K leads to the degradation of the crystalline quality. AFM results show that the surface roughness of the GaN films can be decreased with increasing laser incident energy to 220 mJ/pulse. Further increase of the laser incident energy to 250 mJ/pulse leads to an increase in the surface roughness. The optoelectronic properties of GaN films were also improved by increasing the laser incident energy to 220 mJ/pulse. GaN films which have a n-type carrier concentration of 1.26×1017 cm-3 and a mobility of 158.1 cm2/Vs can be deposited at a substrate temperature of 937 K, a deposition pressure of 20 Pa and a laser incident energy of 220 mJ/pulse. Their room-temperature PL spectra exhibit a strong band-edge emission at 365 nm. PACS 81.15.Fg; 81.05.Ea; 78.20.-e; 73.61.Ey; 78.66.Fd  相似文献

The well-known quaternary Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) chalcogenide thin films are playing an important role in modern technology. The CZTS nanocrystal were successfully prepared by solution method using water, ethylene glycol and ethylenediamine as different solvent. The pure phase material was used for thin film coating by thermal evaporation method. The prepared CZTS thin films were characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, FESEM, XPS and FT-IR spectroscopy. The XRD and Raman spectroscopy analysis revealed the formation of polycrystalline CZTS thin film with tetragonal crystal structure after annealing at 450 °C. The oxidation state of the annealed film was studied by XPS. A direct band gap about 1.36 eV was estimated for the film from FT-IR studies, which is nearly close to the optimum value of band gap energy of CZTS materials for best solar cell efficiency. The CZTS annealed thin films are more suitable for using as a p-type absorber layer in a low-cost solar cell.  相似文献

Wide bandgap semiconductors such as ZnSe and ZnO have attracted great interest due to their applications in solar cells, light emitting diodes, and lasers. However, these wide bandgap semiconductors are frequently difficult to be doped to heavy concentrations, greatly limiting their application. A substrate holder with a natural temperature gradient was developed for batch growth of films at different deposition temperatures, in order to investigate ZnSe film growth and doping challenges. Thin ZnSe films were grown by pulsed laser deposition and characterized using X-ray diffraction, optical transmission and reflection, Raman spectroscopy, and Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis. Deposition temperature and film stoichiometry (Zn:Se) are shown to be significant factors affecting ZnSe growth and doping. ZnSe films with improved crystallinity have been obtained by enriching with selenium and depositing at an optimized temperature. Heavily p-type ZnSe films with hole concentrations of ~2.7 × 1019 cm?3 and resistivities of ~0.099 Ohm cm have been obtained (compared with previous reports of ~1 × 1018 cm?3 and ~0.75 Ohm cm). The results, which are consistent with previous theoretical prediction of compensating defects in ZnSe films, can help to optimize ZnSe growth conditions and understand doping challenges in wide bandgap semiconductors.  相似文献

We report the observation of crystallization and simultaneous formation of surface microstructures in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films as one step laser processing. Light trapping microstructures of around 300 nm in height were formed on a-Si:H films of thickness in the range of 1.5 μm to 2 μm deposited on soda lime glass after exposure to femtosecond laser pulses. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images show the formation of spikes that are around 1 μm part and their heights could be controlled by the laser fluences. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images were taken to study the roughness created on the surface. The mean roughness of the textured surface increases with laser fluence at smaller power densities, and for power densities beyond 0.5 J/cm2 the film removal deteriorates the texturing. X-ray diffraction results indicate the formation of a nano-crystalline structure with (111) and (311) crystal orientation after the laser treatment. The observed black color and enhanced optical absorption in the near infrared region in laser treated films may be due to a combined effect of light trapping in the micro-structured silicon surface because of multiple total internal reflections, phase change in the film, possible defect sites induced after laser treatment and formation of SiOx. Demonstration of light trapping microstructures in thin a-Si:H films and simultaneous crystallization could provide new opportunities for optoelectronic devices.

Ruthenium (Ru) has received great interest in recent years for applications in microelectronics. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) enables the growth of Ru thin films at low temperatures. In this paper, we report for the first time the characterization of pulsed laser deposited Ru thin films. The deposition processes were carried out at room temperature in vacuum environment for different durations with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser of 355-nm laser wavelength, employing various laser fluences ranging from 2 J/cm2 to 8 J/cm2. The effect of the laser fluence on the structural properties of the deposited Ru films was investigated using surface profilometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Ru droplets, some spherical in shape and some flattened into round discs were found on the deposited Ru. The droplets were correlated to ripple formations on the target during the laser-induced ejection from the target. In addition, crystalline Ru with orientations of (100), (101), and (002) was observed in the XRD spectra and their intensities were found to increase with increasing laser fluence and film thickness. Grain sizes ranging from 20 nm to 35 nm were deduced using the Scherrer formula. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) show that the composition of the plume and the deposited Ru film was of high purity.  相似文献

Physical properties of a nanocrystalline thin film is greatly influenced by its morphological and structural evolution. We try to understand the transition of SnO2 thin films from amorphous to nanocrystalline structure with XRD, IR, SEM, AFM and surface profiler studies. A 2D layer like structure resulting from quantum confinement is found for the films prepared at 400 °C. We observed a new IR band at 530 cm−1 that was theoretically predicted and report it for the first time. A correlation of population of defects in SnO2 films with change in lattice parameters and FWHM of IR bands are reported. The electric and optical properties of the films have been discussed.  相似文献

Vanadium oxide thin films were prepared by sol-gel method, then subjected to Nd:YAG laser (CW, 1064 nm) radiation. The characteristics of the films were changed by varying the intensity of the laser radiation. The nanocrystalline films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD revealed that above 102 W/cm2 the original xerogel structure disappears and above 129 W/cm2 the films become totally polycrystalline with an orthorhombic structure. From TEM observations, we can see that due to laser radiation, the originally fibrillar-like particles disappear and irregular shaped, layer structured V2O5 particles are created. From XPS spectra we can conclude that due to laser radiation the O/V ratio increased with higher intensities.  相似文献

Zinc telluride (ZnTe) thin films were sublimated on a glass substrate using closed space sublimation (CSS) technique. ZnTe thin films of same thickness were tailored with copper (Cu) & silver (Ag) doping, considered for comparative study. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of as-deposited ZnTe thin film and doped ZnTe samples exhibited polycrystalline behavior. The preferred orientation of (111) having cubic phase was observed. XRD patterns indicated that the crystallite size had increased after silver and copper immersion in as-deposited ZnTe thin films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the change of as-deposited and doped sample's grains sizes. EDX confirmed the presence of Cu and Ag in the ZnTe thin films after doping respectively. The optical studies showed the decreasing trend in energy band gap after Cu and Ag-doping. Transmission also decreased after doping. Resistivity of as-deposited ZnTe thin film was about 106 Ω cm. The resistivity was reduced to 68.97 Ω cm after Cu immersion, and 104 Ω cm after Ag immersion. Raman spectra were used to check the crystallinity of as-deposited, Cu and Ag-doped ZnTe thin film samples.  相似文献
