In this work, copper oxide (CuO) thin films were prepared using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. The effect of laser beam energy and pulse number on the structural, morphological, and topographical characteristics was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate the presence of characteristic peaks for CuO with a crystalline growth orientation at the (111) […]
AbstractSilicophosphate glasses with variable divalent ion dopants (Zn2+, Sr2+ or Cu2+) were prepared via melt annealing route. Parent and doped glasses were thermally heat-treated through a two-step regime to be converted into their glass–ceramic derivatives. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectral data were recorded for parent glasses and their glass–ceramics derivatives to identify the structural building […]
