Impact of Annealing on Metal–Oxygen Hybridization Process in Zinc Ferrite Thin Films Studied by Angle Dependent Soft X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy
Herein, we report the impact of thermal annealing on the metal (Fe-3d)-oxygen (O-2p) hybridization in zinc ferrite thin films using the angle-dependent near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) technique. Zinc ferrite thin films of thickness ~ 100 nm are grown on MgO (200) substrates using radio frequency sputtering. Further, these as-grown films are annealed at temperatures 200, 400, and 600 °C in an air atmosphere to improve the crystallinity of the films. NEXAFS studies on Fe L2,3-edge and O K-edge reveal the importance of thermal annealing on the modification of the electronic structure of zinc ferrite films. Angle-dependent NEXAFS studies on Fe L2,3-edge suggest that the variation in electronic structure caused by the metal–oxygen hybridization in Zinc Ferrite is influenced by the film’s crystallinity through the annealing process. Further, the nature of metal–oxygen hybridization in zinc ferrite is confirmed by the O K pre-edge angle-dependent NEXAFS studies.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering provides a global forum for the dissemination of research in chemical engineering. The Journal publishes significant research results obtained in the Asia-Pacific region, and simultaneously introduces recent technical progress made in other areas of the world to this region. Submitted research papers must be of potential industrial significance and specifically concerned with chemical engineering. The editors will give preference to papers having a clearly stated practical scope and applicability in the areas of chemical engineering, and to those where new theoretical concepts are supported by new experimental details. The Journal also regularly publishes featured reviews on emerging and industrially important subjects of chemical engineering as well as selected papers presented at international conferences on the subjects.
