Physical and Optical Characteristics of α-Al2O3 Nano Coating formed by Pulsed Laser Deposition Technique
Hassan, Ayman M1, Alwahib, Ali A2, Hussein, Abbas K3.
Due to the importance of Al2O3 nano-coatings in different fields, further studies and investigations are required. In addition, few studies about preparing Al2O3 by pulsed laser deposition have been found; hence this method was selected for Al2O3 preparation. Alumina (α-Al2O3) is deposited to form nano-coating film using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) substrate. Laser pulses are applied in three sets of 100, 200, and 300. The combination of the number of laser pulses and energies of 700, 800, and 900 mJ are made to study the crystal structure, surface morphology, and optical properties of the nanocoated. The crystal structure analyses using XRD showed that nano-coating has a polycrystalline structure. The AFM analyses showed that the average surface roughness proportion with the energy and the number of pulses increased from 0.6 nm to 2.9 nm. The transmission decreased with increasing laser energy and the number of pulses. The optical bandgap from 4.11 to 4.01ev is also obtained. For the first time, this study demonstrates three energies and three sets of pulses associated with a fixed substrate temperature of 200ºC; optical characteristics were studied extensively under PLD technique
conditions.
