This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have great promise for a wide range of optoelectronic applications, however controlling crystallinity and stoichiometry at low processing temperatures remains a challenge. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a versatile technique that allows precise control the film properties. The crystallinity and electrical properties can, theoretically, be tuned by altering a wide variety of deposition parameters. However, until now there has been little work performed exploring PLD as a technique for the preparation of thin films at low temperature, for use in optoelectronic applications. In this thesis, PLD is demonstrated as a highly appropriate technique for the preparation of semiconducting and electrically conducting transparent films, over a wide range of substrate temperatures applicable for optoelectronic grade substrates. Deposition conditions are identified allowing the low temperature deposition of ZnO directly onto functional organic poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) coated substrates. To demonstrate the applicability of this methodology the preparation of conventional architecture hybrid (inorganic:organic) photovoltaic devices is outlined with no degradation to the microstructure, optical or electrical properties of the P3HT observed. The methodology is widely applicable for depositing oxide interlayers multilayer organic devices. In this thesis, the role of ZnO is investigated as i) an exciton dissociation and electron transporting layer in hybrid devices, ii) an optical spacing layer in organic bulk heterojunction photovoltaic devices and iii) as a transparent conducting oxide (when doped with A1) as a top contact for organic optoelectronic devices. Device performance is optimised through careful control of PLD parameters. In each device and in free-standing thin films the microstructure, morphology and crystallographic nature of the as-deposited ZnO is studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrical properties are studied in both operational devices and by 4-point probe measurements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book primarily covers the fundamental science, synthesis, characterization, optoelectronic properties, and applications of metal oxide nanomaterials. It discusses the basic aspects of synthetic procedures and fabrication technologies, explains the related experimental techniques and also elaborates on the current status of nanostructured oxide materials and related devices. Two major aspects of metal oxide nanostructures – their optical and electrical properties – are described in detail. The first five chapters focus on the optical characteristics of semiconducting materials, especially metal oxides at the nanoscale. The following five chapters discuss the electrical properties observed in metal oxide-based semiconductors and the status quo of device-level developments in a variety of applications such as sensors, transistors, dilute magnetic semiconductors, and dielectric materials. The basic science and mechanism behind the optoelectronic phenomena are explained in detail, to aid readers interested in the structure–property symbiosis in semiconducting nanomaterials. In short, the book offers a valuable reference guide for researchers and academics in the areas of material science and semiconductor technology, especially nanophotonics and electronics.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have good electro-optical properties suitable for opto-electronic applications. The present study explains the deposition and characterization of n-type and p-type ZnO thin films by spray pyrolysis. The films were characterized by different methods to understand their structural, optical and electrical properties. Gallium was chosen as the impurity dopant in ZnO films to improve the electrical properties. The electrical conductivity, carrier concentration and mobility of Ga doped ZnO (GZO) films were highly improved in comparison to undoped ZnO films. The GZO films showed good optical transmittance in the visible region. The electrical and optical results suggest that the GZO films are suitable to use as a TCO in optoelectronic industries. The p-type ZnO thin films were successesfully realized using dual acceptor method. The Hall measurements and room temperature photolumiscence results were supported p-type nature of (Li, N): ZnO thin films.
