Structure deformation of indium oxide from nanoparticles into nanostructured polycrystalline films by in situ thermal radiation treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
A microstructure deformation of indium oxide (In2O3) nanoparticles by an in situ thermal radiation treatment in nitrous oxide plasma was investigated. The In2O3 nanoparticles were completely transformed into nanostructured In2O3 films upon 10 min of treatment time. The treated In2O3 nanoparticle sample showed improvement in crystallinity while maintaining a large surface area of nanostructure morphology. The direct transition optical absorption at higher photon energy and the electrical conductivity of the In2O3 nanoparticles were significantly enhanced by the treatment.

We report on nanostructured films of Al doped tin oxide grown by facile spray pyrolysis route, and their physical properties were investigated. The sprayed films were grown onto indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate at 300 °C from the precursor (SnCl4, 5H2O). The content of Al is kept at 3 % in the solution. Structural, optical, electrical and surface properties were investigated. X-rays pattern rev...

Amorphous or polycrystalline films of three organic materials (solvent blue 35 and two porphyrins) have been recrystallized into single-crystal thin films (of micrometer thickness) by a zone-melting technique, in which an electrically heated wire generated a narrow molten zone (0.5-2 mm wide) on the organic layer sandwiched between two pieces of glass or indium-tin oxide-coated glass. When the ...
