Performance Analysis of the Conductivity of Pure Cadmium Oxide in Comparison with the Doped Cadmium Oxide using a Low Cost Technique

Abstract

This research is a study on the electronic conductivity of Pure and doped Cadmium oxide thin films. The synthesis is carried out using an innovative dip coating technique by introducing Nickel and Cobalt as dopants. The thin films were deposited on the glass substrate using an innovative dip coating technique. The change in resistance of the doped and undoped samples is analyzed for a change in frequency. The sample sizes of Pure and Nickel and Cobalt doped Cadmium oxide thin films were 202 each with the total sample size as 606. This was calculated using the clincalc calculator by keeping the pretest power as 80 % while maintaining the error correction at 0.05. The Cobalt and Nickel dopants cause a reduction in the resistance for a frequency of 5 KHz, the resistance of Pure Cadmium oxide is -120 ohm and is reduced to -211.1 ohm ad - 322.3 ohm for cobalt and Nickel doped Cadmium oxides respectively. It is seen from the various experiments conducted on Cadmium oxide thin films that by adding dopants the resistivity is decreased. The significance of pure Cadmium oxide and doped Cadmium oxide are 0.001 and 1.000 respectively. The p value is taken to be less than 0.05, and the same can be observed from the SPSS results.
