“…Details of the USP technique were given in our previous works. 19,20 The spraying solution was prepared by dissolving Cu(CH 3 COO) 2 AE 2H 2 O (0.1 M) and Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 AE 2H 2 O (0.1 M) in distilled water. The solutions were mixed at certain volumes depending on the desired composition of the film.…”

In this work, undoped and Zn-doped copper oxide films were deposited on glass substrates at a substrate temperature of 250 ± 5°C by using an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique. Electrical, optical, and structural properties of the films were investigated, and the effect of Zn incorporation on these properties are presented. The variations of electrical conductivities and electrical conduction mechanisms of all films were investigated in the dark and in the light. Optical properties of the produced films were analyzed by transmission, linear absorption coefficient, and reflection spectra. The band gaps of the films were determined by an optical method. The film structures were studied by x-ray diffraction. To obtain information about structural properties in detail, the grain size (D), dislocation density (d), and lattice parameters for preferential orientations were calculated. The elemental analyses were performed using energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. It was concluded that Zn has a strong effect, especially on the electrical and structural properties, and the undoped and Zn-doped copper oxide (at 3%) films may be used as absorbing layers in solar cells due to their low resistivities and suitable linear absorption coefficient values.

Zn 1Àx Mg x O (ZMO) films were prepared by the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique and effects of doping on structural, optical, electrical, and surface properties were examined. The film structures were studied by X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction patterns of the films showed that the ZMO films exhibited hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure with a preferred orientation along (0 0 2) direction. Texture coefficient, grain size values, and lattice constants were calculated. The optical properties like transmission, reflection, and absorption were investigated with UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The optical measurements reveal a shift in absorption edge and optical band gap of ZMO films changed with Mg content. Optical parameters (refractive index, extinction coefficient) and thicknesses of the films were investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). Surface and electrical properties of the films were studied using atomic force microscopy and four-probe technique, respectively. After all investigations, it is concluded that the ZMO thin films can be used in photovoltaic solar cells as window materials and cell efficiencies can be increased using different content rates.
