Structural and Electrical Characterization of Zinc Oxide Doped with Antimony

This work report on the structural and electrical characteristics of zinc oxide single crystal samples doped with antimony. Doping was carried out by antimony thermal diffusion at 1000 °C for periods of one and two hours under nitrogen environment from a solid source formed by antimony oxide. X-ray diffraction was used to determine the crystalline phases in samples and the structural change owi...

Optically transparent ceramics by spark plasma sintering of oxide nanoparticles

Influence of Preferred Orientation on the Electrical Conductivity of Fluorine-Doped Tin Oxide Films

Current development of high-performance transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films is limited with tradeoff between carrier mobility and concentration since none of them can be improved without sacrificing the other. In this study, we prepare fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) films by chemical vapor deposition with inclusions of different additives and report that the mobility can be varied from 0.6...

Fabrication of Nanostructured Cu matrix Nanocomposites by High Energy Mechanical Milling and Spark Plasma Sintering

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a sintering process that is capable of sintering hard worked powders in short times. This technique was used to fabricate bulk Cu and Cu-SiC nanocomposites. Pure Cu and mixed powders of Cu including 4 vol% of SiC nanoparticles were mechanically alloyed for 25 h and sintered at 750˚C under vacuum condition by SPS method. Microstructures of the materials were chara...
