    Abstract: This research investigates effect of annealing temperature on the optical properties of titanium dioxide loaded with silver nanoparticles (TiO2: AgNPs) thin films deposited on glass substrate by spin–coating technique. Silver nanoparticles was prepared using laguminosae-paplionodeae extracts as a reducing agent for silver nitrate and commercially a... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, ultraviolet (UV) detection properties of epitaxial ZnO films grown on sapphire substrates with radio-frequency magnetron sputtering is reported. The responsivity (R) of the ZnO photoconductors measured at 325 nm wavelength shows a strong dependence on the incident power (P), i.e., R µ P-k (k = 0.7). A responsivity of 3500 A/W (or a g...
