Sol-gel derived ZnO:Y nanostructured films: Structural and optical study

[en] The study is focused on the sol-gel derived ZnO:Y nanostructured films with different yttrium concentrations. The sol-gel Y doped ZnO films have been successfully deposited on Si and quartz substrates by spin coating method. The effect of thermal treatment is researched depending on their structural and optical properties. The annealing temperatures are changed in the range of 300–800 °C. XRD patterns reveal that the crystallization of Y doped ZnO films is significantly deteriorated and the broader and less intense XRD lines are observed compared to single ZnO. The XRD analysis shows that increasing the yttrium contents and the annealing temperatures lead to the formation of cubic yttrium oxide. This conclusion has been confirmed by FTIR analysis. Optical transmittance in the visible spectral range diminishes with yttrium doping especially significant for ZnO:Y films with highest Y content. The determined optical band gaps of ZnO:Y films are wider compared to single ZnO. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
