    Fine-tuning SnO2 films: Unleashing their potential through deposition temperature optimization by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Sarica, Emrah; Ozcan, Hakan Bilal; Gunes, Ibrahim; Terlemezoglu, Makbule; Akyuz, Idris
    In this study, the optimization of the deposition temperature, which directly affects the crystallinity, morphology, and electrical conductivity of SnO2 films deposited onto Corning Eagle XG glass substrates using the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique, was investigated to tailor their physical properties for various applications. Structural analyses revealed that the films had a tetragonal rutile structure, and while films deposited at lower temperatures exhibited a higher prevalence of (200) oriented planes, yet this decreased with an increase in deposition temperature. Morphological analyses showed that the films consisted of grains with octahedral shapes, and films deposited at lower temperatures were found to be more compact. The films had bandgap energy ranges between 3.96 eV and 4.02 eV. Hall effect measurements revealed that not only the carrier concentration decreased from 4.52 x 10(19) cm(-3) to 0.80 x 10(19) cm(-3), but the mobility also decreased from 23.32 cm(2)/Vs to 12.85 cm(2)/Vs. Among all the films, it was noted that the films deposited at 350 degrees C had the highest figure of merit which is 12.3 x 10(-4) Omega(-1). It can be concluded that the changes underlying these variations are associated with structural and morphological changes depending on the substrate temperature. Also, significant results have been attained in applications where precise control over crystal structure and surface morphology is crucial.

    Flow rate-dependent properties of SnO2 thin films deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis
    (Elsevier, 2024) Gunes, Ibrahim; Sarica, Emrah; Ozcan, Hakan Bilal; Terlemezoglu, Makbule; Akyuz, Idris
    This study unveils the outcomes of fabricating and characterizing SnO2 thin films through ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Also, it focuses on the effect of manipulating flow rates on their structural, optical, and electrical characteristics. Structural analysis revealed that the films exhibited a tetragonal rutile structure and (200) crystallographic planes become preferential as the flow rate increases. Crystallite size and lattice strain were calculated using the Debye-Scherrer and Williamson-Hall methods, demonstrating that higher the flow rate resulted in larger crystallite sizes and reduced lattice strain. SEM images showed that all films have uniform and consistent film thickness and grain size enlarged with the solution flow rate as well. The films exhibited high optical transparency (>80%) in the visible spectrum, making them suitable for transparent conductive applications. The band gap of the films decreased gradually with flow rates, and the Urbach energy slightly increased. Hall effect measurements revealed higher flow rates resulted in lower sheet resistance (lowest is 1.32 x 10(2) Omega/sq) and higher carrier mobility (highest is 22.12 cm(2)/V.s), indicating improved electrical properties. These findings offer valuable perspectives for forthcoming researches.

    In doped CdO films: Electrical, optical, structural and surface properties
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009) Kose, Salih; Atay, Ferhunde; Bilgin, Vildan; Akyuz, Idris
    Recently, there has been a lot of work on the production and investigation of the physical properties of Transparent Conducting Oxide (TCO) materials which have common application area in photovoltaic solar cells and some optoelectronic devices. In this work, CdO film which is a material belongs to TCO family has been produced by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis technique on microscope glass substrates at the substrate temperature of 250 +/- 5 degrees C. Electrical, optical, structural and surface properties of undoped and In doped (at 1.3 and 5%) CdO films and the effect of In doping percentage on the physical properties of CdO films have been investigated. It has been determined that electrical conductivity of CdO film is high and this value has been decreased by in doping. After the optical investigations, it has been observed that the transmittances of the films are about 30% and decreased dramatically by in doping. XRD investigations showed that, films have polycrystalline structure and good crystallinity levels. It has been found that in element hasn't got an important effect on the morphology of the films after the examination of surface micrographs. It has been determined that Cd and O elements are present in the solid film by using EDS. After all investigations, it has been concluded that In doping has an important effect on the electrical, optical, structural and surface properties of CdO films.
