in the present study, we investigate dc conduction mechanism of electron beam evaporated   bromoaluminium phthalocyanine (bralpc) thin films using aluminum and gold electrodes. the current-voltage characteristics of sandwich type device are evaluated for the temperature range 298-413k under dark conditions. it is observed that the current passing through the device is increased by increasing te...

Zn0.97TM0.03O (TM = Co, Fe) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by the sol–gel method and the effects of transition metals substitution on structural and optical properties of ZnO films were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the films have wurtzite structure. Optical transmittance of the films was recorded in the range of 200 -800 nm wave length and the band...

The effect of evaporation rate on structural, morphological and optical properties of electron beam evaporated CdS thin films have been investigated. CdS thin film deposited by electron beam evaporation method in 12nm/min and 60nm/min evaporation rates on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy were used to character...

In this research work, silica nano-porous thin films were deposited on glass substrates by layer by layer method. The thin films were calcinated at various calcination temperatures (200, 300, 400, and 500 °C). The morphology, surface characteristics, surface roughness and hydrophilic properties of the thin films were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total ...

in this work, a tracer study on pore initiation in anodic alumina in oxalic acid was performed. effects of some experimental parameters such as applied electrical potential, electrolyte composition and heat pretreatment were evaluated. electrochemical and morphological experiments were performed using potentiostatic anodizing and scanning electron microscopy (sem) techniques, respectively. effe...

Composite thin films are a new area of study with many applications, e.g. metal + oxide thin films in high density magnetic recording media. Engineering the processing, microstructure and properties of these thin films is of great importance. It has been found that microstructures of the thin films depend strongly on the oxide volume fraction and pressure during sputtering. Surface diffusion an...

Nanostructured ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel dip coating technique. Zinc acetate and ammonium hydroxide were used as precursors and ethanol was as solvent. Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) solution was added drop-wise under vigorous stirring to obtain the sol-gel of different pH (varying from 6.9 to 7.2). ZnO thin films were obtained by dipping the glass substrates for few seconds and then ...
