Abstract

Epitaxial ZnO and Al‐doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were grown on (0001)‐sapphire substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The photoluminescence spectrum of the highly conductive (1.3 × 10^3^ S cm^βˆ’1^), as‐grown AZO shows a poor near band edge (NBE) emission (3.30 eV) and no deep level emission at room temperature. In addition, the peak (3.386 eV) for the free excitons of AZO showed thermal quenching behavior with two activation energies (38.2 and 10.0 meV). The poor NBE emission is attributed to the nonradiative recombination center created by Al doping. Highly conductive (6.0 × 10^2^ S cm^βˆ’1^) and intense NBE emitting AZO films could be achieved by the reduction of the nonradiative recombination centers through hydrogen annealing.

## Abstract Thin films of indium tin oxide (ITO) doped with zinc oxide have the remarkable properties of being conductive yet still highly transparent in the visible and near‐IR spectral ranges. The Electron beam deposi‐ tion technique is one of the simplest and least expensive ways of preparing. H

P-type transparent conducting antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) films were successfully fabricated on quartz glass substrates by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering using a 20 mol.% Sb-doped SnO 2 ceramic target. The deposited films were annealed at different temperatures for different durations. Hall
