The orientation growth and angle-dependent photoluminescence (PL) of nitrogen-doped SnO 2 films grown on Si substrate by reactive magnetron sputtering have been studied. It was found that the orientation of the nitrogen-doped SnO 2 films depends strongly on their thickness, and a highly [1 1 0]-oriented film was achieved with a seed layer. An angle-dependent PL of the [1 1 0]-oriented films was observed, and the PL peak position shifts towards the longer wavelength side and the PL peak width decreases as the observation angle decreases. This angle-dependent PL was attributed to the Fabry-Pérot optical interference effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
