This work examines the grown of Zn1-xCoxO films at different Co concentrations at 420°C by ultrasonic spray deposition. The effect of Co concentration of Zn1-xCoxO films on optical characterization, structure crystallinity and electrical conductivity was studied. Transmission spectra of Zn1-xCoxO films presented three edges in the visible region, it was observed in the range of 541 and 656 nm of wavelengths, which related to the d-d transitions of Co2+ion with 3d7high-spin configurations in a tetrahedral crystal field formed by neighboring O2−ions. The gap energy was found increases after doping by Co to maximum value of 3.373 eV at x=0.04. The Urbach energy minimum was 0.083eV, it is obtained for x=0.01. The sprayed Zn1-xCoxO films exhibit a wurtzite structure with preferred orientation in the (002) direction. The maximum crystallite size of Zn1-xCoxO films was 95.61 nm at x=0.06. The maximum electrical conductivity of the Co doped ZnO films was located at x=0.06. |
