Polycrystalline Transparent Al-Doped ZnO Thin Films for Photosensitivity and Optoelectronic Applications.

Thin nanocrystalline transparent Al-doped ZnO (1-10 at.% Al) films were synthesized by solid-phase pyrolysis at 700 °C. Synthesized Al-doped ZnO films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM).

Nanocomposite CoO-ZnO Thin Films for Photoconductivity Sensors.

Thin nanocomposite films based on zinc oxide (ZnO) added with cobalt oxide (CoO) were synthesized by solid-phase pyrolysis. According to XRD, the films consist of a ZnO wurtzite phase and a cubic structure of CoO spinel. The crystallite sizes in the films increased from 18 nm to 24 nm with growing annealing temperature and CoO concentration.

High Gas Sensitivity to Nitrogen Dioxide of Nanocomposite ZnO-SnO Films Activated by a Surface Electric Field.

Gas sensors based on the multi-sensor platform MSP 632, with thin nanocomposite films based on tin dioxide with a low content of zinc oxide (0.5-5 mol.%), were synthesized using a solid-phase low-temperature pyrolysis technique.
