Abstract :

[en] The paper presents a sol-gel approach for deposition of ZnO:Ag composite films. The films are obtained by spin coating method on quartz and Si substrates. The effect of the annealing temperatures (500-800 °C) and the gas ambient (oxygen and nitrogen) has been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Optical properties are investigated by UV-VIS spectroscopy. The transmittance spectra of ZnO:Ag films are differed from ZnO spectra and manifest absorption features due to silver nanoparticles formation. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
