Nonlinear Optical Properties of Zinc Oxide Thin Films Produced by Pulsed Laser Deposition
摘要： In this work, the nonlinear optical properties of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films produced on microscope slide glass substrates at room temperature (RT) using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) method has been presented. PLD system consists of a vacuum chamber (pumped by a turbo molecular pump, backed with a rotary pump), rotating sample and substrate holders, optical thickness measurement system, infrared temperature measurement system and a nanosecond laser system. Previously deposition vacuum chamber evacuated down to ~10-8 mbar and deposition was taken place about 1.3×10-1 mbar oxygen background gas pressure value. Morphological properties of thin films were obtained by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) that shows homogenous and smooth film structure. Thin films crystallinity were investigated by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) method and showed that polycrystalline ZnO structure with the largest peak corresponding to (002) orientation but some films contain Zn with (101) orientation . The thicknesses of the films were deduced from reflectance measurement using a fitting software and crosschecked with profilometer and AFM measurements. The thickness of the films ranged between 10 nm and 220 nm. Linear optical properties were obtained by using UV-VIS Spectrometer. Furthermore, we presented the nonlinear optical properties of the ZnO thin films that were obtained by the z-scan method.

Fabrication of arrangement-controlled and vertically grown ZnO nanorods by metal nanotransfer printing
摘要： Vertically aligned ZnO nanorods have been widely investigated for use in piezoelectric generators, photovoltaic devices, nanotemplates, photoelectrochemical applications, etc. In addition to vertical alignment, intentional arrangement of ZnO nanorods according to a careful design can enhance the device performance. In this work, we used metal nanotransfer printing to fabricate arrangement-controlled and vertically grown ZnO nanorods on both hard and flexible substrates. Highly vertical growth and periodical arrangement of the ZnO nanorods were confirmed by microscope images. Their crystallinity and photoluminescence characteristics were also investigated. Transmission spectra of the substrates show the enhancement of optical transmission after the nanorod growth. We believe that this fabrication technique lends itself to simple fabrication of arrangement-controlled and vertically grown one-dimensional nanostructures on both hard and flexible substrates for application in solar cells, water splitting, metamaterials, etc.

Properties of boron doped ZnO films prepared by reactive sputtering method: Application to amorphous silicon thin film solar cells
摘要： Reactive sputtered boron-doped zinc oxide (BZO) film was deposited from argon, hydrogen and boron gas mixture. The reactive sputtering technique provides us the flexibility of changing the boron concentration in the produced films by using the same intrinsic zinc oxide target. Textured surface was obtained in the as-deposited films. The surface morphology and the opto-electronic properties of the films can be controlled by simply varying the gas concentration ratio. By varying the gas concentration ratio, the best obtained resistivity ~ 6.51×10-4 Ω-cm, mobility ~ 19.05 cm2 V-1 s-1 and sheet resistance ~ 7.23 Ω/□ were obtained. At lower wavelength of light, the response of the deposited films improves with the increase of boron in the gas mixture and the overall transmission in the wavelength region 350-1100 nm of all the films are >85%. We also fabricated amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film solar cell on the best obtained BZO layers. The overall efficiency of the a-Si solar cell is 8.14%, found on optimized BZO layer.

Development of a Hybrid Chitosan- and Niacinamide-Coupled ZnO Nanoparticle Composite for Sun Protection Application
摘要： Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) have long been utilized as UV-protective sunscreen components due to their high durability and lower skin irritation while maintaining capability for blocking UV rays. However, the dispersal and transparency properties of ZnO need to be enhanced in order to improve the capacity for creating effective sunscreen through control of the physiochemical properties of ZnO. In this study, chitosan or niacinamide, which are suitable functional cosmetic compounds and effective skin lightening agents, are combined with ZnO for the development of better UV-protective products. Each biocompatible coating material is individually attached on its surface after the synthesis of ZnO. The size is 70 nm using the sol-gel method. Their morphology and chemical structure are characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA, and zeta potential. The results indicate that approximately 50% of chitosan and 5% niacinamide were coated on the ZnO. To confirm the capacity of each surface-coated ZnO with chitosan and niacinamide as a sunscreen, we measured their transmission, reflectance, and sun protection factor (SPF) using a UV spectrophotometer and SPF. As a result, the niacinamide-coated ZnO shows remarkably lower transmission and high reflectance against UV rays than that of bare ZnO and chitosan-coated ZnO. Furthermore, niacinamide-coated ZnO exhibits great lightening effects. Consequently, these results demonstrate that niacinamide coating is highly effective for the production of sunscreen emulsions.

Highly Transparent and Surface-Plasmon-Enhanced Visible-Photodetector Based on Zinc Oxide Thin-Film Transistors with Heterojunction Structure
摘要： Highly transparent zinc oxide (ZnO)-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) capable of detecting visible light were fabricated through spray pyrolysis on a fluorine-doped tin oxide substrate. The spray-deposited channel layer of ZnO had a thickness of approximately 15 nm, and the thickness exhibited a linear increase with an increasing number of sprays. Furthermore, the ZnO thin-film exhibited a markedly smoother channel layer with a significantly lower surface roughness of 1.84 nm when the substrate was 20 cm from the spray nozzle compared with when it was 10 cm away. Finally, a ZnO and Au-NP heterojunction nanohybrid structure using plasmonic energy detection as an electrical signal, constitutes an ideal combination for a visible-light photodetector. The ZnO-based TFTs convert localized surface plasmon energy into an electrical signal, thereby extending the wide band-gap of materials used for photodetectors to achieve visible-light wavelength detection. The photo-transistors demonstrate an elevated on-current with an increase of the AuNP density in the concentration of 1.26, 12.6, and 126 pM and reach values of 3.75, 5.18, and 9.79 × 10?7 A with applied gate and drain voltages. Moreover, the threshold voltage (Vth) also drifts to negative values as the AuNP density increases.

Zinc Oxide Based Nano Materials and Devices || Pyrolysis of Carbon-Doped ZnO Nanoparticles for Solar Cell Application
摘要： It is very important to find new methods for improving the properties of nano-structured materials that can be used to replace the highly expensive and complicated techniques of fabricating ZnO nano-powders for solar cell applications. Pneumatic spray pyrolysis method offers a relatively inexpensive way of fabricating ZnO nanomaterials of controllable morphology, good crystallinity and uniform size distribution, which makes it a good candidate for the production of ZnO nanoparticles. Additionally, it has the advantage of producing ZnO NPs in one step directly on the substrate without the need for other wet chemistry processes like purification, drying and calcination. To that end, the present study emphasizes more on the design and optimization of spray pyrolysis system as well as on the pneumatic spray pyrolysis conditions for the production of carbon-doped ZnO nanoparticles. The un-doped and carbon-doped ZnO NPs were prepared using pneumatic spray pyrolysis employing zinc acetate as a precursor solution and tetrabutylammonium as a dopant. The fabricated un-doped and C-ZnO NPs were characterized for their morphological, structural and optical properties using SEMEDX, XRD and DRS. SEM analysis has revealed that the fabricated un-doped and C-ZnO NPs have spherical shape with mesoporous morphology. The cross-sectional SEM has also revealed that the film thickness changes with increasing dopant concentration from 0.31 to 0.41 μm at higher concentrations. Moreover, the EDX spectra have confirmed the presence of Zn and O atoms in the PSP-synthesized ZnO NPs. XRD analysis of both un-doped and C-ZnO has revealed the peaks belonging to hexagonal Wurtzite structure of ZnO. Additionally, the DRS has revealed a decrease in energy band gap of the synthesized ZnO NPs, with the increase in carbon dopant level.

Carrier transport improvement in ZnO/MgZnO multiple-quantum-well ultraviolet light-emitting diodes by energy band modification on MgZnO barriers
摘要： Ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) materials have been the subject of many investigations because of their potential applications. In this study, ZnO/MgZnO multiple-quantum-well UV LEDs with graded-composition barriers were developed and numerically analyzed. The simulation results demonstrate that an optimized LED with a Mg composition graded from 24% to 2% in each triangular barrier exhibits the highest internal quantum efficiency (IQE) (88.0%) at 200 A/cm2, showing a 31.3% increase compared with the conventional LED with square barriers. This enhancement is attributed to the modified energy band structures that improve the symmetry in carrier transportation and increase the radiative recombination rate in each ZnO quantum well, thus enhancing the IQE of the device. Additionally, the different band-offset ratios of the MgZnO/ZnO and InGaN/GaN heterojunctions, which lead to the different carrier transport and electroluminescence properties of the ZnO- and GaN-based LEDs, were discussed here, providing researchers new insights into device design of ZnO-based LEDs.

Doubly-resonant plasmonic hot spot-exciton coupling enhances second harmonic generation from Au/ZnO hybrid porous nanosponges
摘要： We introduce zinc oxide (ZnO) functionalized porous gold nanoparticles which exhibit strong second harmonic (SH) emission due to an efficient coupling of localized surface plasmons to ZnO excitons. The nanosponges are perforated with a random network of 10-nm sized ligaments, localizing plasmons in a high density of hot spots. We use a broadband, few-cycle ultrafast laser to probe coherent nonlinear emission from individual bare gold and ZnO-functionalized sponges. While the third harmonic spectrum of the hybrid particles redshifts with respect to that of bare gold sponges, a distinct blueshift is seen in their SH spectra. SH emission around 390 nm, slightly below the ZnO band gap, is enhanced by ten times. We attribute this to doubly-resonant plasmon-exciton interactions: the laser drives nanosponge plasmon hot spot resonances and this locally enhanced field induces two-photon excitation of localized ZnO excitons. This opens a path towards the design of efficient coherent nonlinear optical sources by combining randomly-disordered nanoantennas with semiconductor gain materials.
