چکیده
In this communication, we demonstrate the inter-conversion of crystal structure of aluminium doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films from highly (002) plane oriented vertical growth to (103) plane oriented lateral growth by adjusting the polarity of the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on glass substrates at room temperature.

Correlation between crystal structure and optical properties of copper- doped ZnO thin films
ZnO and Cu doped[1] (CZO) thin films were prepared by radio frequency sputtering. The structural and optical properties of thin films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical spectrophotometer, and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. ZnO thin films showed crystalline and micro-stress defects in the crystal lattice. Annealing of CZO thin films increa...
متن کاملCharacterization of monolayer formation on aluminum-doped zinc oxide thin films.
The optical and electronic properties of aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films on a glass substrate are investigated experimentally and theoretically. Optical studies with coupling in the Kretschmann configuration reveal an angle-dependent plasma frequency in the mid-IR for p-polarized radiation, suggestive of the detection of a Drude plasma frequency. These studies are complemented by oxy...
متن کاملAn 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 ...
متن کاملZnO Microcrystals for Light Emitting Diode and Photovoltaic Applications with Integration on Flexible Substrates
We report a new integration approach to produce arrays of ZnO microcrystals for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. Demonstrated applications are n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunction LEDs and photovoltaic cells. The integration process uses an oxygen plasma treatment in combination with a photoresist pattern on Magnesium doped GaN substrates to define a narrow sub-100nm width nucleation region....
متن کاملUltraviolet detectors based on annealed zinc oxide thin films: epitaxial growth and physical characterizations
In this report, ultraviolet (UV) detectors were fabricated based on zinc oxide thin films. The epitaxial growth of zinc oxide thin films was carried out on bare glass substrate with preferred orientation to (002) plane of wurtzite structure through radio frequency sputtering technique. The structural properties indicated a dominant peak at 2θ=34.28º which was matched with JCPDS reference card N...
