Auxiliary Characterization of (Co, Mn) Co-doped Zinc Oxide Thin Films

Mansi Chopra

Abstract


Cobalt and manganese are both co-doped with zinc oxide films were set up by sol-gel turn covering strategy on quartz substrate by shifting the dopants focus. The result of dopants focus was researched by x-beam diffraction (XRD). The XRD design demonstrates that the kept movies have polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure. SEM micrograph demonstrates the adjustments in morphology of very thin film as dopants fixation are fluctuating. The compositional examination did by vitality dispersive scrambling (EDS) spectra that affirm the nearness of zinc, cobalt and manganese with no debasements. Keywords: Co and Mn doped ZnO, thin films, spin coating process, XRD, SEM, EDS
