Cr-doped Co3O4; thin film; spray pyrolysis; optical and electrical properties
Cr-doped Co3O4 thin films were prepared by spray pyrolysis on soda-lima glass. The structure and morphology of the prepared samples were characterized by GIXRD, FTIR, and SEM. The results showed the formation of a single cubic spinel phase with a crystallite size of 6 nm. Optical absorption spectra revealed different electronic transitions and estimations of the band gap structure. The electrical resistivity was found to increase with increasing Cr content. Additionally, the resistivity decreased under visible illumination and increased under infrared illumination, with the sensitivity enhanced by increasing the Cr content. This work introduces a new application for Co3O4 material as a light detector.
Cr-doped Co3O4 thin films were prepared by spray pyrolysis on soda-lima glass. The structure and morphology of the prepared samples were characterized by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron Microscopy (SEM). The results indicated the formation of a single cubic spinel phase with a crystallite size of about 6 nm. Different electronic transitions and estimations of the band gap structure were determined from the optical absorption spectra. The dependence of electrical resistivity on Cr content was investigated. It was found that the resistivity increased by increasing the Cr content. In addition, the effect of photon excitation on the electrical properties showed that the electrical resistivity decreased under visible illumination (lambda(vis.) = 532 nm) and increased under infrared illumination (lambda(IR) = 780 nm). The relative change in resistivity (sensitivity) under both light illuminations was enhanced by increasing the Cr content. Therefore, this work introduces a new application for Co3O4 material as a light detector.
