Microstructural, optical and electrical investigations of Sb-SnO2 thin films deposited by spray pyrolysis

Enhanced electrical properties of antimony doped tin oxide thin films deposited via aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition

“…This was associated with an increase in mobility and carrier concentration which can be attributed to the ratio of Sb 3+ and Sb 5+ present in the lattice. 46 The Sb 5+ state contributes additional free electrons into the conduction band increasing conductivity and the charge carrier concentration. 47 Above 4 at% Sb the resistivity increased with a corresponding decrease in mobility and carrier concentration.…”

Growth mechanism of hexagonal ZnO nanocrystals and their sensing application

“…The average crystallite size of the sensing material was calculated as $ 71 nm by Debye-Scherrer's formula [10]. The XRD pattern of ZnO thin film is shown in Fig.…”

“…The specific surface area (SSA) was determined as 272.6 m 2 /g using the equation A d D 6 m = × , where d is the bulk density of ZnO pellet and D m is the average crystallite size. The number 6 is the shape factor [10]. This high value of active surface area is another significant feature for gas sensing.…”

Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis of Antimony‐Doped Tin Oxide Transparent Conductive Coatings

“…[26,27] Previous studies of ATO coatings deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis have individually and unsystematically explored the structural, electrical, and optical properties of the deposited films by altering some of the key parameters including dopant concentration, film thickness, and processing temperature. [28][29][30][31][32] However, a comprehensive investigation of these parameters and a deeper understanding of their role is still required to generate reproducible, high performance ATO films.…”
