“…Moreover, ZnO films have garnered a lot of attention lately due to their abundant elements, non-toxic constituent metals, significant light absorption coefficient, and wide bandgaps. 16,17 ZnO films can be fabricated by utilizing various methods like sol-gel, 18 spray pyrolysis, 19 chemical deposition, 20 spin coating, 21 and thermal evaporation 22 techniques. The performance of ZTO 3 layers can be improved by doping the process with an external atom that has electrons in its valence orbital more or less than the pure metal atom.…”

Zinc antimony oxide (ZnSb2O4) thin films were prepared by inexpensive nebulizer spray pyrolysis. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the ZnSb2O4 thin films have a tetragonal structure. The analysis of structural indices indicate that the grain size of the ZnSb2O4 films was enhanced by expanding the thickness of the ZnSb2O4 layers, and the dislocation density was decreased. Further, the optical reflectance, R, and transmittance, T, of the ZnSb2O4 sheets, were used to investigate the optical characteristics of these layers. The optical investigations of the ZnSb2O4 films refer to an improvement in the refractive index values, Urbach energy, and absorption coefficient by boosting the thickness. Moreover, the energy gap analysis of these films shows that their energy gap decreased from 3.75 to 3.47 eV as the thickness increased. The investigation of optoelectrical characteristics involves improving the optical conductivity, electrical conductivity, optical carrier concentration, and optical mobility of the ZnSb2O4 films by growing the thickness. The nonlinear optical indices of the ZnSb2O4 layers were deduced, and it was noted that the boost in the nonlinear optical indices of these films occurred by raising the thickness. Furthermore, the ZnSb2O4 films displayed n-type semiconducting properties by the hot probe equipment.

In this work, ZnSnO3 (ZTO3) and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were synthesized on glass slides by a cost-effective nebulizer spray pyrolysis procedure. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films possessed a rhombohedral structure. The structural indices (grain size, dislocation density, lattice strain) of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were computed. The morphology characteristics of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The inspected films display uniform and homogeneous surfaces. The optical transmittance, T, and reflectance, R, of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were recorded using a double-beam spectrophotometer to investigate the optical characteristics of these layers. The refractive index of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films was enhanced via the Li content increase. Moreover, Tauc’s plots demonstrated that the energy gap of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films was reduced from 3.85 eV to 3.08 eV by boosting the Li doping content. Moreover, the increase in Li content produces an enhancement in the optoelectrical indices (optical resistivity, optical carrier concentration, optical mobility, plasms frequency, and optical conductivity) of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films. The nonlinear optical indices of the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films were deduced, and it was noted that Li content boosted the nonlinear optical indices of these layers. All the ZTO3 and Li-doped ZTO3 thin films displayed n-type semiconducting properties by the hot probe equipment.
