Unraveling the microstructural and optoelectronic properties of solution-processed Pr-doped SrSnO perovskite oxide thin films.

The inorganic stannous-based perovskite oxide SrSnO has been utilized in various optoelectronic applications. Facilitating the synthesis process and engineering its properties, however, are still considered challenging due to several aspects. This paper reports on a thorough investigation of the influence of rare-earth (praseodymium) doping on the microstructural and optoelectronic properties of pure and Pr-doped SrSnO perovskite oxide thin films synthesized by a two-step simple chemical solution deposition route.

Revealing the impact of strontium doping on the optical, electronic and electrical properties of nanostructured 2H-CuFeO delafossite thin films.

Delafossite materials are considered to be a promising range of transparent conductive oxides for optoelectronic applications. The complications that have held back their implementation in practical devices lie in the complex growth methods that are required and in the formation of undesirable secondary phases. Herein, a fast, simple, and low-cost deposition method allowing the deposition of high-quality 2H-CuFeO nanostructured thin films is employed.
