In this study, the iron oxide thin films have been produced by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method as a function of pH onto amorphous glass substrates. The surface images of the films were investigated with scanning electron microscope (SEM). The crystal structures, orientation of crystallization, crystallite sizes, and dislocation density i.e. structural properties of the thin films were analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The optical band gap ([Formula: see text], optical transmission ([Formula: see text]%), reflectivity ([Formula: see text]%), absorption coefficient ([Formula: see text], refraction index ([Formula: see text]), extinction coefficient ([Formula: see text]) and dielectric constant ([Formula: see text]) of the thin films were investigated depending on pH, deposition time, solution temperature, substrate temperature, thickness of the films by UV–VIS spectrometer.
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.
