Samples were prepared at different thickness (62, 66, 74, 86, 92, and 110 nm), and substrate temperature kept at 400 ℃ in all cases. Compressed Nitrogen was used as a cartier gas. The samples of the ZnO films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The XRD results indicated that the synthesized ZnO thin films have a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. It can be seen that the highest texture coefficient was in (002) plan for nanostructure films. AFM measurement showed the grain size ranging from 62-86 nm. The optical band gap energy (Ee,) of ZnO nanostructure have two values for the same sample and the Eg decrease with increasing thickness utilizing the optical data using UV-Vis spectrophotometer.展开更多
