Tungsten trioxide (WO3) electrochromic coatings have been formed on indium tin oxide-coated glass substrates by aqueous routes. Coating sols are obtained by dissolving tungsten powder in acetylated (APTA) or plain peroxotungstic acid (PTA) solutions. The structural evolution and electrochromic performance of the coatings as a function of calcination temperature (250 degrees C and 400 degrees C) have been reported. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction have shown that amorphous WO3 films are formed after calcination at 250 degrees C for both processing routes: however, the coatings that calcined at 400 degrees C were crystalline in both cases. The calcination temperature-dependent crystallinity of the coatings results in differences in optical properties of the coatings. Higher coloration efficiencies can be achieved with amorphous coatings than could be seen in the crystalline coatings. The transmittance values (at 800 nm) in the colored state are 35% and 56% for 250 degrees C and 400 degrees C-calcined coatings, respectively. The electrochemical properties are more significantly influenced by the method of sol preparation. The ion storage capacities designating the electrochemical properties are found in the range of 1.62-2.74 x 10(-3) (mC cm(-2)) for APTA coatings; and 0.35-1.62 x 10(-3) (mC cm(-2)) for PTA coatings. As a result, a correlation between the microstructure and the electrochromic performance has been established.

Structural and optical properties of thermally annealed thallium indium disulfide thin films Guler, I; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-30) Structural and optical properties of thallium indium disulfide (TlInS2) thin films, deposited by thermal evaporation technique and thermally annealed at different temperatures, were analyzed. Crystallite size, dislocation density and lattice strain of the thin films were found from X-ray diffraction experiments. The atomic compositions of the films were determined from energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis. Surface morphology of the films was analyzed using atomic force microscopy. From room temperature t...
The investigation of structural, electrical, and optical properties of thermal evaporated AgGaS2 thin films KARAAĞAÇ, HAKAN; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-31) AgGaS2 (AGS) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by sequential thermal evaporation of AgGaS2 single crystalline powder and excess silver (Ag) interlayer. Systematic optimization to obtain single phase AgGaS2 thin films was carried out by changing the thickness of the excess silver layer. The structure and composition of as-grown and annealed films were studied by means of X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray analysis, respectively. The optical properties of AGS thin films determined by ...
Electrical and dielectrical properties of tantalum oxide films grown by Nd:YAG laser assisted oxidation AYGÜN ÖZYÜZER, GÜLNUR; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2008-11-28) Tantalum pentoxide (Ta(2)O(5)) thin films (20 to 44 nm) have been grown by 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser oxidation of Ta deposited films with various thickness on Si. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum, thickness distribution, dielectric and electrical properties of laser grown oxide layers have been studied. The effect of the sputtered Ta film thickness, laser beam energy density and the substrate temperature on the final Ta(2)O(5) film structure has been determined. It is shown that the oxide layers obtain...
Electronic and structural properties of armchair SWCNT/TiO2(110)-(1 x 2) system Tayran, C.; ÇAKMAK, MELEK; Elliatioglu, S. (Elsevier BV, 2011-03-01) We have presented structural and electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with armchair chirality on the reconstructed rutile TiO2(110)-(1 x 2) surface by means of ab initio calculations using density functional theory. For the TiO2 surface reconstruction, we have adopted an added-row model which was experimentally proposed in parallel to STM patterns and theoretically agreed by first principle calculations. In this work, we have studied, as examples, two CNTs with different sizes, (3,...
Solid phase epitaxial thickening of boron and phosphorus doped polycrystalline silicon thin films formed by aluminium induced crystallization technique on glass substrate Ozmen, O. Tuzun; Karaman, M.; Sedani, S. H.; Sagban, H. M.; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2019-11-01) Aluminium induced crystallization (AIC) technique can be used to form the high-quality and large-grained polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films, which are with the thickness of similar to 200 nm and used as a seed layer, on silicon nitride coated glass substrate. Thanks to aluminium metal in AIC process, the natural doping of AIC thin films is p(+) type (similar to 2 x 10(18) cm(-3)). On the other hand, recombination of carriers can be controlled by partial doping through the defects that may have adv...
