Discerning Variable Extents of Interdomain Orientational and Structural Heterogeneity in Solution-Cast Polycrystalline Organic Semiconducting Thin Films

By spatially resolving the polarized ultrafast optical transient absorption within several tens of individual domains in solution-processed polycrystalline smallmolecule organic semiconducting films, we infer the domains’ extents of structural and orientational heterogeneity. As metrics, we observe variations in the time scales of ultrafast excited state dynamics and in the relative strength of...

Structural, Optical and Defect State Analyses of ZnO Nanoparticle Films

Synthesis of ZnO nanostructures films by a co-precipitation followed by the deposition processed onto a glass substrate by spin-coating technique was carried out. The effect of annealing temperatures (from 250 to 325 °C for 30 min) on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO films have been investigated. The structural studies reveal that ZnO films are polycrystalline with hexagonal wur...

The thermally induced metal-semiconducting phase transition of samarium monosulfide (SmS) thin films.

High quality phase pure samarium monosulfide (SmS) thin films were prepared by electron beam evaporation using a samarium metal source in a H(2)S atmosphere. The optical properties (reflection, transmission, absorption) of the films in the semiconducting and metallic phase were analysed from the UV to the mid-IR and explained in terms of the electronic structure of SmS. In this paper it will be...

Enhanced Physical Properties Of Indium Tin Oxide Films Grown on Zinc Oxide-Coated Substrates

Structural, electrical and optical properties of indium tin oxide or ITO (In2O3:SnO2) thin films on different substrates are investigated. A 100-nm-thick pre-deposited zinc oxide (ZnO) buffer layer is utilized to simultaneously improve the electrical and optical properties of ITO films. High purity ZnO and ITO layers are deposited with a radio frequency sputtering in argon ambient with plasma p...

An experimental and theoretical study on the physical properties of Al doped ZnO thin films

In this research, ZnO thin films with Al impurity as dopant were coated onto cleaned glass substrates by the spray pyrolysis technique. Crystal structure of the thin films was studied via XRD, and UV-vis spectroscopy was carried out to investigate their optical properties. Finally, in order to study the effect of Al impurity in ZnO thin films, the band structures of both pure and doped systems ...
