Effect of stabilizer on optical and structural properties of MgO thin films prepared by sol–gel method
Source abstract
Abstract
The effects of monoethanolamine (MEA) and acetylacetone (ACAC) addition as stabilizer on the crystallization behaviour, morphology and optical properties of magnesium oxide were investigated using thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Visible, photoluminescence (PL) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Stabilizer addition reduces transparency of the films. MgO films prepared at 500 °C showed weak orientation of (200). However, the films prepared by addition of stabilizer are amorphous. MgO powders were prepared for exhibiting the structural properties. The patterns of MgO powders showed a preferred orientation of (200). The addition of stabilizer causes a reduction in grain size. SEM micrographs show that a homogenous and crack-free film can be prepared at 500 °C and addition of stabilizer causes an increase in packing density.
