Preparation and proposed mechanism of ZnO Nanostructure Thin Film on Glass with Highest c-axis Orientation
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, ZnO thin film is deposited on slide glass substrate using the sol-gel process. Presenting well-defined orientation of ZnO thin films Nanostructure were obtained by dip coating of zinc acetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine (MEA), de-ionized water and isopropanol alcohol. The annealed ZnO thin films were transparent ca 85-90% in visible range with an absorption edges at about 375 nm. The morphologies and phase structure show that the ZnO/glass film is formed by a layer of ZnO nano-sized particles with average diameter of 40 nm. X-ray diffraction results showed polycrystalline wurtzite with a highest c-axis preferential (002) orientation with the only sharp X-ray diffraction peak at 34.40 corresponding to the hexagonal ZnO. The high c-axis orientation improved and the grain size increased by the annealing temperature. These results showed that the sol-gel deposited ZnO films have potential applications such as catalyst and transparent electrodes in optic and electronic devices.

full textBarium ferrite thin film media with perpendicular c-axis orientation and small grain size
Barium ferrite thin films with perpendicular c-axis orientation and small grain size ~about 300 Å! were successfully fabricated with careful control of sputtering conditions. The c-axis orientation of barium ferrite thin films is most sensitive to the oxygen partial pressure during deposition. All samples with oxygen gas during deposition have a random c-axis texture, as indicated by existence ...
full textStructural and Optical Properties of Zno Nanostructure Thin Film Syn- thesized By SILAR Method
Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin film have been deposited using Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) technique, which is based on alternate dipping of substrate in the solution and deionized water. The thin film was grown on glass substrate. The precursor for ZnO film was diluted aqueous solution of ZnSo4 complex with NH3. The film was investigated by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron...
full textHighly stable precursor solution containing ZnO nanoparticles for the preparation of ZnO thin film transistors.
ZnO particles with an average size of about 5 nm were prepared via a sol-gel chemical route and the silane coupling agent, (3-glycidyloxypropyl)-trimethoxysilane (GPTS), was adopted to enhance the dispersion of the ZnO nanoparticles in ethyl glycol (EG) solution. A ZnO surface potential as high as 66 mV was observed and a sedimentation test showed that the ZnO precursor solution remains transpa...
full textComplementary Organic Thin-Film Transistors on Glass
Organic thin-film transistors (OTFT) present a new approach to building electronics that can mechanically flex, span large areas, and integrate with polymeric materials. Potential applications include flexible displays, biochemical sensors, and artificial skin. In many applications, OTFTs act as an interface between the physical environment and the digital processors. Yet, a conspicuous absence...
