ZnO films obtained by electrodeposition under alternating magnetic field

Abstract

Thin films of polycrystalline ZnO were produced by electrodeposition under alternating magnetic field. The structures of the films deposited under a magnetic field were defined by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and it revealed that the films formed in a hexagonal structure. The energy gaps of the films produced without magnetic field were estimated between 3.54 eV and 3.63 eV while the others varied from the 3.60 eV to the 3.79 eV.
