摘要
In this paper, we have investigated the influence of N-2 reactive gas on the structural, electrical and optical properties of CuCrO2 thin film deposited on the quartz substrate using RF magnetron sputtering. The introduction of nitrogen into the structure of CuCrO2 thin film clearly improves the electrical and optical properties of the material due to the addition of more charge carriers. The obtained results clearly show that transparency in the visible region and electrical resistivity of the prepared CuCrO2 thin film with N-2/(Ar + N-2) ratio of 40% are about 73% and 53.0 a"broken vertical bar cm, respectively, which are considerably improved in comparison with the pure CuCrO2 thin film.
