Abstract
- The multilayer thin films of SnO 2 /Ag/SnO 2 were deposited using electron-beam and thermal evaporation for flat panel display application. The as-prepared SnO 2 /Ag/SnO 2 specimen was irradiated with 100 MeV O 7+ ions by varying the fluences 1 × 10 12 and 5 × 10 12 ions/cm 2 . The pristine and irradiated films were investigated using XRD, SEM, AFM and Raman to find out modification in the structure and surface morphology of the films. UV–Vis and Hall measurement techniques were used to investigate the optical and electrical properties respectively. It was observed that the roughness of the film after irradiation (for the fluence of 1 × 10 12 ions/cm 2 ) decreased to 0.68 nm from 1.6 nm and showed an increase in roughness to 1.35 nm on increasing the fluence to 5 × 10 12 ions/cm 2 . This oxide/metal/oxide structure fulfills the basic requirements of a TCE, like high-transmittance >75% for pristine and >80% for the fluence of 1 × 10 12 ions/cm 2 over a broad spectrum of visible light for practical applications. The multilayer structure shows change in the electrical resistivity from 1.6 × 10 −3 Ω cm to 6.3 × 10 −3 Ω cm after irradiation.
