Spectroscopic ellipsometry and morphological studies of nanocrystalline NiO and NiO/ITO thin films deposited by e-beams technique

M. Emam-Ismail et al.

Summary: This study reported new data on the structure, surface morphology, and optical properties of multi thickness nanocrystalline NiO/glass substrate and NiO/ITO/glass substrate semiconductor thin films prepared by electron beam deposition technique. It was found that the crystallite size of NiO film increased with thickness, and the optical properties were analyzed using spectroscopic ellipsometry technique. Additionally, the values of Urbach energy for both types of thin films were found to be very small compared to the energy gap values.

Optical properties upon ZnS film thickness in ZnS/ITO/glass multilayer films by ellipsometric and spectrophotometric investigations for solar cell and optoelectronic applications

Meshal Alzaid et al.

Summary: The study examined the structural and optical properties of ZnS films deposited on ITO coated glass substrate. Results show that an increase in ZnS layer thickness leads to higher refractive index and extinction coefficient, while decreasing the energy band gap. This is attributed to the increase in grain size affecting the optical characteristics of the films.
