Abstract

Transparent conducting gallium-titanium codoped zinc oxide thin films were grown onto glass substrates with magnetron sputtering technique in ambient argon gas, and the influence of argon pressure on optical properties of the films were investigated. The refractive indexes of the films were calculated. It is found that the refractive index tends to increase with increasing the photon energy. Meanwhile, the dispersion behavior of the refractive index was analyzed in terms of the single-oscillator model and the oscillator parameters were obtained. Furthermore, the optical energy gaps were evaluated by single-oscillator model and Tauc’s relation, respectively. The values of optical energy gap estimated from single-oscillator model are in agreement with those determined from Tauc’s relation.
