摘要
Zinc oxide (ZnO) films were synthesized by thermal oxidation of metallic zinc films in normal atmosphere at 600 degrees C. The influence of oxidation time ranging from 1 to 3 hr on the structural and optical properties of ZnO films was investigated. The films show polycrystalline structure with c axis preferred orientation. The energy band gap for the prepared films seem to be unaffected by the time duration of the oxidation process and was equal to 3.25 +/- 0.02 eV.
