Structure and optical properties of nanocrystalline NiO thin film synthesized by sol–gel spin-coating method

Determination of structural and optical parameters of CuO thin films prepared by double dip technique

“…It represents entire information of optical transition and excitation of the phonons in a material. Dielectric constant can be calculated using the relation [34] e ¼ e r þ e i ¼ ðn þ ikÞ 2…”

NiO Thin Films Synthesized by Atomic Layer Deposition using Ni(dmamb)2 and Ozone as Precursors

“…[5][6][7][8] Other noteworthy applications include Mott-Hubbard insulators and buffer layers for the deposition of other oriented films, such as superconducting films with well-matched lattice parameters, since NiO crystallizes in the cubic rock-salt structure with a lattice parameter of 4.17 Å . [9,10] NiO thin films have been grown by various deposition techniques, such as pulsed-laser deposition, [11] electronbeam and thermal evaporation, [12,13] reactive sputtering, [14] sol-gel deposition, [15] spray pyrolysis, [1,16] high-temperature oxidation, [17] chemical bath deposition, [3,18] and CVD. [19][20][21] In recent years, ALD has gained acceptance as a key technology for advanced thin film deposition in microelectronic applications.…”

Effects of Zn‐dopant on structural properties and electrochromic performance of sol‐gel derived NiO thin films

“…1. As seen in XRD patterns, the diffraction peak displays only NiO cubic phase positioned at 2θ = 43.3° attributing to (200) orientation plane [15,16]. From XRD patterns, it is indicated that the growth along the (200) plane tends to be the preferred orientation of these films prepared by sol-gel route.…”
