Investigation of oxide semiconductor based thin films : deposition, characterization, functionalization, and electronic applications

Creator:

Rajachidambaram, Meena Suhanya

Abstract:

Nanostructured ZnO films were obtained via thermal oxidation of thin films formed with metallic Zn-nanoparticle dispersions. Commercial zinc nanoparticles used for this work were characterized by microscopic and thermal analysis methods to analyze the Zn-ZnO core shell structure, surface morphology and oxidation characteristics. These dispersions were spin-coated on SiO₂/Si substrates...

Rajachidambaram, Meena S., Varga, Tamas, Kovarik, Libor, Sanghavi, Rahul, Shutthanandan, Vaithiyalingam, Thevuthasan, Suntharampillai, Han, Seung-Yeol, Chang, Chih-Hung, and Herman, Gregory S.

Abstract:

The thermal oxidation of submicron metallic Zn particles was studied as a method to form nanostructured ZnO films. The particles used for this work were characterized by electron microscopy, x ray diffraction, and thermal analysis to evaluate the Zn-ZnO core shell structure, surface morphology, and oxidation characteristics. Significant nanostructural changes...
