Nanocrystalline Au: SnO2 Thin Films Grown by DC Reactive Magnetron Sputtering

Abstract

In this work, nanocrystalline gold doped tin oxide (Au:SnO 2 ) thin films were prepared on glass substrates by dc reactive magnetron sputtering at different substrate temperatures. The physical properties of as deposited films were characterized by different analytical techniques. From the XRD results, the polycrystallinity and grain size of the films increased with substrate temperature. The as deposited films exhibited smooth surface without cracks and voids. The films deposited at substrate temperature of 473 K exhibited highest optical transmittance of 88% with band gap of

Comparative evaluation of Indocyanine Green and 810nm Diode Laser Assisted Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy with 810nm Diode Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure as adjuncts to Scaling and Root Planning in Supportive Periodontal Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Split-Mouth Clinical Trial

“…Laser irradiation with deep penetrating lasers such as diode laser was shown to produce a thicker coagulation layer due to greater tissue denaturation compared to superficially absorbed lasers resulting in slower healing. Photobiomodualtion with use of ICG causes biostimulation thus promoting cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as anti-inflammatory effects, which may positively modulate wound healing [48,49].…”
