Study of ceria thin films prepared via electrochemical deposition : Role of selected electrochemical parameters on growth kinetics

Effects of annealing on properties of ZnO thin films prepared by electrochemical deposition in chloride medium

The development of cost-effective and low-temperature synthesis techniques for the growth of highquality zinc oxide thin films is paramount for fabrication of ZnO-based optoelectronic devices, especially ultraviolet (UV)-light-emitting diodes, lasers and detectors. We demonstrate that the properties, especially UV emission, observed at room temperature, of electrodeposited ZnO thin films from c...

Templated electrochemical deposition of zirconia thin films on "recordable CDs.".

In this paper, we describe a practical method of using gold films constructed from recordable compact disks (CD-Rs) as simple, inexpensive, and micropatterned conductive substrates for the fabrication of inorganic material microstructures. Extending from their application for the fabrication of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) reported recently, bare and SAM-modified CD-R gold substrates have b...

Photoelectrochemical Characterization of Dye- Modified ZnO Hybrid Thin Films Prepared by Electrochemical Deposition

Effect of growth time on ZnO thin films prepared by low temperature chemical bath deposition on PS substrate

ZnO thin films were successfully synthesized on a porous silicon (PS) substrate by chemical bathdeposition method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM),and photoluminescence (PL) analyses were carried out to investigate the effect of growth duration(3, 4, 5, and 6 h) on the optical and structural properties of the aligned ZnO nanorods. T...

Electrochemical deposition of thin magnetic layers

Magnetic layers and layered structures with defined physical properties are of high interest for magnetoelectronic and magnetoelectromechanical applications as well as for magnetic data storage. New deposition technologies become more important in industrial branches for magnetic applications. Electrochemical deposition methods are favoured due to their low costs compared to physical deposition...
