Nanocrystalline vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) thin films were deposited onto fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrates using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and spin coating methods. The formation behavior of thin films, the effects of different production methods on the characteristics of the films and their microstructural / physical properties were investigated as a function of annealing temperature in the range of 450-550 °C and other controllable process parameters. Structural, morphological and optoelectronic properties of orthorhombic V2O5 films were examined by X-Ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy and CV measurements. It was clear that homogeneous thin films were obtained in a reproducible manner through ultrasonic spray deposition. Particle size of the films was found to increase with the annealing temperature .Optical transmittance of the films got adversely affected as the roughness increased. All heat treated films showed electrochromic (EC) response and for films with a thickness of 50 nm, the transmittance change was about %10 at a wavelength of 800 nm. Ultrasonic spray deposition method was utilized as a reproducible and cost-effective method. Parametric optimization approach represented herein this thesis for the ultrasonic spray deposition of V2O5 thin films can be easily applied to other oxide systems.

Sol-Gel processing of organically modified ITO thin films and characterization of their optoelectronic and microstructural properties Kesim, Mehmet Tümerkan; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were formed on glass substrates by sol-gel method. Coating sols were prepared using indium chloride tetrahydrate (InCl3•4H2O) and tin-chloride pentahydrate (SnCl4•5H2O) stabilized in organic solvents (acetylacetone and ethanol). First attempt was to synthesize ITO thin films using standard/unmodified coating sols. The effect of calcination treatment in air (300 – 600 °C) and number of coating layer(s) (1, 4, 7 or 10) on optoelectronic properties (electrical conductivity and...
Structural and optoelectronic properties of sol-gel derived nickel oxide thin films Saraç, Büşra Ekim; Durucan, Caner; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) Nanocrystalline nickel (II) oxide (NiO) thin films were deposited on glass substrate by spin coating of sol-gel derived solutions. Thin film formation behavior and microstructural / physical properties of the films were investigated as a function of controllable processing parameters, such as thin film thickness and post deposition heat treatment (annealing temperature) in the range of 400 – 500 °C. Microstructural, morphological and optoelectronic properties of NiO films was examined by scanning electron m...
Conducting fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO) coatings by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis for heating applications Süer, Başar; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2021-06-01) Fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO) coatings were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel (SS) substrates using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique. Four different candidate insulating intermediate layers of TiO2, MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2 were selected and coated on AISI 304 SS using USP and investigated in order to overcome dielectric breakdown of FTO layer due to conductive nature of stainless steel substrate under the applied voltage. After the optimization of the process parameters for the depositions, onl...
Structural characteristics of thermally evaporated Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 thin films Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (2016-05-01) In this work, Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 (CAIS) thin film samples were prepared by thermal evaporation of Cu, Ag, InSe and Se evaporants sequentially on glass substrates. Following the deposition, annealing processes were applied at different temperatures. The as-grown and annealed CAIS samples were nearly stoichiometric in the detection limit of the compositional measurement. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that they were in polycrystalline structure with a preferred orientation along the (112) dire...
Structural, optical and electrical properties of Al-doped ZnO microrods prepared by spray pyrolysis BACAKSIZ, EMİN; AKSU, Serdar; Yilmaz, Salih; Parlak, Mehmet; Altunbas, Mustafa (2010-05-31) Al-doped ZnO thin films were obtained on glass substrates by spray pyrolysis in air atmosphere. The molar ratio of Al in the spray solution was changed in the range of 0-20 at.% in steps of 5 at.%. X-ray diffraction patterns of the films showed that the undoped and Al-doped ZnO films exhibited hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure with a preferred orientation along (002) direction. Surface morphology of the films obtained by scanning electron microscopy revealed that pure ZnO film grew as quasi-aligned hexag...
