    Influence of substrate temperature on structural, optical properties and dielectric results of nano- ZnO thin films prepared by Radio Frequency technique
    (ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2014) Ali, A. I.; Ammar, A. H.; Abdel Moez, A.
    A Radio Frequency (RF) technique was used to prepare ZnO thin films with different substrate temperature under ultra high vacuum. Structure results revealed that these films have crystalline structure. The structure of these films was carried out using Xray Diffraction and Atomic Force Electron Microscope (AFM). The grain size for these films were determined using AFM photos. The optical parameters such as, optical energy gap, refractive index, extinction coefficient, dielectric loss and dielectric tangent loss for these films were determined. Another important parameters such as dispersion energy, oscillating energy and the ratio between the free carrier concentration/effective mass (N/m*) were determined optically. It was found that, the substrate temperature for these investigated films plays an important rule for changing an optical and dielectric results of these films. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

    Optical and dielectric results of Y0.225Sr0.775CoO3 +/-delta thin films studied by spectroscopic ellipsometry technique
    (ELSEVIER, 2013) Ali, A. I.; Son, J. Y.; Ammar, A. H.; Moez, A. Abdel; Kim, Y. S.
    Y0.225Sr0.775CoO3 +/-delta thin films have been deposited on SrTiO3 (111), SrTiO3 (100), LaAlO3 (100) and MgO (111) single crystals substrates at 500 degrees C by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. The optical measurements of these films were studied by ellipsometric method in the spectral range from 310 to 1240 nm. The dependence of the optical constants, the refractive index (n), the extinction coefficient (k), the dielectric loss (epsilon') and the dielectric tangent loss (epsilon '') of these films on the different single crystal substrates was also studied. The normal dispersion of refractive index of the films could be described using the Wemple-DiDomenico single oscillator method. The optical dispersion parameters E-o and E-d were determined according to the above oscillator method. Y0.225Sr0.775CoO3 +/-delta thin films on different substrates have two direct and indirect allowed transitions corresponding to the energy gap E-g(d) and E-g(ind). The variation in either E-g(d) or E-g(ind) with different substrates revealed that, orientation of the substrates affected the energy gap value. Other optical parameters such as the surface energy loss function and the volume energy loss function. were calculated optically. The effective mass of the film has also been calculated from both electrical and optical measurements. (C) 2013 The Authors Published. by Elsevier B.V. Open access under CC BY-NC-ND license.
