摘要: Abstract We report the preparation of pure zinc oxide (ZnO) and nickel-doped thin films (∼100 nm) by fast atom beam (FAB) sputtering technique their characterisation in perspective transparent conducting (TCO). Grazing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) reveals that are polycrystalline, which has been further confirmed selected area (SAD) studies. The nanogranular nature is examined transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A high optical transmittance (>87%) across UV–vis range quite low electrical resistivity (∼1×10 −3 Ω cm) have observed undoped ZnO films. In Ni-doped (ZnO:Ni) decreases increases, subsequently affected an increase Ni content. Charge carrier concentration, highest film, reduces after doping. photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show nickel 2+ state. High conductivity film explained on basis presence oxygen vacancies deduced from O1s spectra Decrease due to doping compensation vacancies.
