Abstract
Synthesis of ternary and multinary oxide-based films offers the possibility of tuning electrical and optical properties of the existing materials over wide range. Here we report about synthesis and characterization of Zn1.9Sn0.9In0.1Ga0.1O4, Zn1.9Sn0.9In0.2O4, and Zn1.9Sn0.9Ga0.2O4 grown by a pulsed laser deposition method. These compounds have been synthesized on the base of Zn2SnO4 by substituting Zn2+ and Sn4+cations with group-III elements such as In3+ and Ga3+. The newly synthesized films are shown to possess a very smooth surface with lower RMS components and exhibit dense grown crystallites with homogenous distribution of small grains. Highly textured growth of inverse cubic spinel structured thinfilms along (111) direction is identified from X-ray diffraction studies. Raman analysis provided supplementary evidences for XRD results. Giant increases of the band gap from 3.60 eV to 3.90 eV have been reported by the development of multinary compounds. The electrical features obtained from Van der Pauw Hall measurements show enhanced charge carrier mobility, resistivity and moderate charge carrier concentrations.
