In this study, Gallium (Ga) and Fluorine (F) were simultaneously incorporated into transparent conductive ZnO (F<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>y</sub>_ZnO) via the DC magnetron sputtering technique. This research not only identifies the optimal co-doping ratios of F and Ga but also elucidates the critical role of Ga in providing a substantial concentration of electron carriers. Concurrently, F is shown to effectively passivate oxygen vacancies, thereby enhancing the electron mobility of pure ZnO thin films. The results indicate that an 800 nm thickness ZnO film with an optimal doping composition of 3% atomic Ga and 1% atomic F (designated as FGZO), deposited on a glass substrate at 500 °C in an Argon atmosphere, achieves remarkable metrics: a carrier concentration of 6.33 × 10²⁰ cm⁻³, electron mobility of 40.59 cm²/V.s, and a resistivity of 2.7 × 10⁻⁴ Ωcm. This doping ratio represents the most effective configuration explored in this study. Furthermore, the average transmittance in the visible and near-infrared regions exceeds 80%. The FGZO thin film exhibits considerable potential for various applications as transparent electrodes in optoelectronic devices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":720,"journal":{"name":"Optical and Quantum Electronics","volume":"57 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to achieving higher relative diffraction efficiency of EIG by tuning system parameters, such as coupling field Rabi frequency, probe field detuning, and relative phase, the impact on diffraction efficiency becomes very small once the Rabi frequency continues to increase after the relative diffraction efficiency reaches its maximum value in the coupling field Rabi frequency regulation.

This technique relies on the projection of solution on orthogonal bases. The development and application of orthogonality relations are useful to convert the differential system into linear algebraic systems, truncated and inverted for the solution. The validity of the truncated solution is confirmed by verifying the matching conditions, which demonstrate the perfect alignment of electric and magnetic fields at the two interfaces.
