Spray pyrolysis deposition of α-Fe2O3 thin films using iron (III) citric complexes

Some Structural and Optical Properties of sprayed Iron Oxide Thin films

“…The obtained optical parameters are summarized in Table 1. These values agree with previously reported one, which varies between 1.9 and 2.2 eV, depends on the preparation techniques and crystalline structure and grain size of the α-Fe2O3 films [5,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]34].…”

“…For thin films, sol-gel [11,12], chemical bath deposition [13], reactive evaporation [14,15] and spray pyrolysis [16][17][18][19][20][21]. The elaboration techniques and also the corresponding references given above are not exhaustive.…”

“…This technique is used by many researchers to deposit thin layers of iron oxides using different chemical solutions [16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Combined laser and magnetic field treatment of YFeO3—containing films grown by spray-pyrolysis

“…The deposition was done using a nebulizer (the device is shown in [4]) with a nozzle diameter of 0.7 mm. In order to avoid the creation of a reducing atmosphere by the products of the complex's thermal decomposition [10], pressurized O 2 was used as a carrier gas (°ow rate of 1 dm 3 /min).…”

“…Good results are obtained when analogous solutions of citric complexes were applied for thin¯lm deposition of Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 [3]. ®-Fe 2 O 3 [4], Y 2 O 3 [5] and yttria-stabilized zirconia [6]. In the present work we applied the same approach for YFeO 3¯l m production.…”
