Abstract
In this research, thin films of ZnO doped with Sn were prepared through the sol-gel method. The effects of Sn dopant on optical, morphological and structural studies were investigated. All of the films in this work showed favored orientation along the (002) plane, according to XRD analysis. It was observed by SEM analysis that the study Sn morphological and structural studies were investigated. From AFM pictures it is clear that as the doping concentration rises, the size of the grains on the surface of thin films decreases.The existence of Zn, O and Sn was verified by the EDAX analysis. The Ultraviolet-visible spectroscope was utilized to examine the optical characteristics. That band gap increased with the dopant material percent increased.
期刊介绍：
Oriental Journal of Chemistry was started in 1985 with the aim to promote chemistry research. The journal consists of articles which are rigorously peer-reviewed. The journal was indexed in Emerging Science citation index in 2016. The Editorial board member consists of eminent international scientist in all fields of Chemistry. Details of each member and their contact information is mentioned in website. The journal has thorough ethics policies and uses plagiarism detection software(ithenticate) to screen each submission. The journal has recently partnered with publons as a part of making our reviews more transparent. The journal has recently incorporated PlumX for article level matrix. The journal is promoting research on all social and academic platforms mentioned in PlumX guidelines. The journal uses google maps to improve on the geographical distribution of Editorial board members as well as authors.
