“…ZTO 3 thin films can be fabricated by utilizing various methods like electrodeposition, 27 spray pyrolysis, 28 sol-gel, 29 spin coating, 30 and thermal evaporation techniques. 31 The performance of ZTO 3 layers can be enhanced by doping them with an external atom that has either more or fewer electrons in its valence orbital than the pure metal atom. Various articles presented the fabrication of ZTO 3 films doped with various elements like F, Cr, In, Ag, Ti, and La.…”

In this work, ZnSnO3 (ZTO3) and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were synthesized on glass slides by a cost-effective nebulizer spray pyrolysis procedure. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films possessed a rhombohedral structure. The structural indices (grain size, dislocation density, lattice strain) of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were computed. The morphology characteristics of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The inspected films display uniform and homogeneous surfaces. The optical transmittance, T, and reflectance, R, of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were recorded using a double-beam spectrophotometer to investigate the optical characteristics of these layers. The refractive index of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films was enhanced via the Li content increase. Moreover, Tauc’s plots demonstrated that the energy gap of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films was reduced from 3.85 eV to 3.08 eV by boosting the Li doping content. Moreover, the increase in Li content produces an enhancement in the optoelectrical indices (optical resistivity, optical carrier concentration, optical mobility, plasms frequency, and optical conductivity) of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films. The nonlinear optical indices of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were deduced, and it was noted that Li content boosted the nonlinear optical indices of these layers. All the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films displayed n-type semiconducting properties by the hot probe equipment.

In the present investigation, magnetic and dielectric properties of solid‐solution formed between the YFeO3 with the similar crystal structure of other oxide materials are focused on. Orthorhombic crystal structure of YFeO3 (YFO), Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 (SBT), and ZnSnO3 (ZS) nanomaterials are considered to prepare the solid solutions at 1150 °C/3 h. YFO and solid solutions exhibit the orthorhombic crystal structure, which is conformed through Rietveld refinement using X‐Ray powder diffraction pattern. The decreased average grain size is observed for the solid solution (3.0 μm for YFO and ZS and 2.6 μm for YFO and SBT) when compared to YFO (3.4 μm) through scanning electron microscopy. Oxidation state of each atom/ion/element present in the YFO and solid solutions are conformed through X‐Ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies. The solid solution formed between the YFO and SBT exhibits high magnetization value (2.92 emu g−1) and high coercive filed (67.5 Oe) when compared to solid solution formed between the YFO and ZS (magnetization value = 2.48 emu g−1, and coercive filed = 46.4 Oe) and YFO (magnetization value = 1.91 emu g−1, and coercive filed = 61.8 Oe). High dielectric permittivity (εr), low dielectric loss (tan δ), and low conductivity are observed for the solid solution formed between the YFO and SBT, when compared to other materials in this study.
