EXAFS (extended X ray absorption fine structure ) spectra and Co state in ZnO:Co films EXAFS-спектроскопия — новый метод исследования вещества, позволяющий определять структурные параметры ближнего окружения атомов с выбранным Z, спектры которых изучаются. Среди этих параметров — межатомные расстояния, координационные числа, амплитуды тепловых колебаний. Существование дальнего порядка в исследуемых образцах не требуется. В зависимости от применяемой методики получения спектров можно анализировать ближнее окружение атомов, расположенных либо в объеме образца, либо на его поверхности.

Resistivity of In2O3:Sn films deposited from oxide target
The conductivity of the films deposited at 230 0C is higher than the conductivity of the films deposited at room temperature. This correlates with the better crystallinity of the film deposited at 230 0C Treatment in H plasma leads to the increase of conductivity. The Effect is larger for 5 min treatment than for 30 min treatment 32

Summary - Electron mobility in ZnO and In2O3:Sn films correlates with degree of crystallinity: the better is the crystallinity the larger is the electron mobility. - Electron transport in highly crystalline ZnO, ZnO:Ga and films is bandlike. - Electron transport in polycrystalline ZnO, ZnO:Ga films and oxygen deficient In2O3:Sn films is hopping. - Electron concentration in ZnO:Ga films is essentially smaller than concentration of Ga atoms. - Electron transport in ZnO:Co films is hopping at low temperatures. Increase of Co content in ZnO films leads to increase of paramagnetic susceptibility and large positive magnetoresistance at low temperatures. This magnetoresistance could be explained by Zeemann splitting of electronic energy levels in magnetic filed. - Conductivity of In2O3:Sn films deposited from oxide target is larger than conductivity of ZnO:Ga films grown by oxygen assisted MOCVD due to larger electron concentration. The increase of substrate temperature from RT to 230 °C leads to essential increase of the electron mobility and film conductivity. 35
