Electrical properties of ZnO-Bi2O3 thin-film varistors.

The Role of Polypyrrole in Electrical Properties of ZnO-Polymer Composite Varistors

Composite films on the base of ZnO with different weight percentages of polypyrrole have been prepared using the hot pressing method and their current-voltage characteristics have been studied. Results show that the films have nonlinear varistor behavior and can be used to protect sensitive circuits from 110V up to 350V overvoltages. It is found that the higher the content...

Improvement of optical transmittance and electrical properties for the Si quantum dot-embedded ZnO thin film

A Si quantum dot (QD)-embedded ZnO thin film is successfully fabricated on a p-type Si substrate using a ZnO/Si multilayer structure. Its optical transmittance is largely improved when increasing the annealing temperature, owing to the phase transformation from amorphous to nanocrystalline Si QDs embedded in the ZnO matrix. The sample annealed at 700°C exhibits not only high optical transmittan...

Optical and Electrical Properties of Thin Film BaSnO3 Author

Thin films of the perovskite barium tin oxide (BaSnO3) were prepared and characterized by their structural optical, electrical, and photoluminescent characteristics. Film deposition methods included both RF sputtering and pulsed laser deposition techniques. High quality, oriented films having optical bandgaps ranging between 3.7 eV & 4.4 eV were produced on various substrates. The undoped films...
