“…They noted that the Cr addition improve the refractive index, optical conductivity, absorption coefficient, and dielectric indices of the ZTO 3 films. 35 Additionally, Sima et al used the chemical deposition approach to successfully manufacture Ag/ZTO 3 hollow cubes. The Ag/ZTO 3 was used to create a gas sensor with a high reaction rate.…”

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.

The present study used chemical deposition to deposit thin copper aluminum tin sulfide (CATS4) layers onto clean glass substrates. X-ray diffraction analysis was utilized to explore the crystalline structure of the CATS4 films, which refers to the CATS4 films having a cubic crystal structure. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis showed the presence of Cu, Al, Sn, and S peaks in the CATS4 films, and their atomic ratio is close to 1:1:1:4. Spectrophotometric measurements of optical transmittance and reflectance spanning the 400–2500 nm spectral range were performed to describe the optical properties of the CATS4 layers. The CATS4 films demonstrated a direct energy gap transition between 1.42 and 1.31 eV. Further, increasing the layer thickness enhanced the refractive index and Urbach energy of the CATS4 films. The inspected CATS4 films showed better optoelectrical properties with increasing thickness, including improved optical conductivity, optical resistivity, optical carrier concentration, relaxation time, and optical mobility. Increasing the thickness of the CATS4 films increased their nonlinear optical indices. Additionally, the hot probe apparatus verified the p-type semiconducting characteristics of CATS4 films.
