Abstract
In this work, Mn doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films were coated onto glass substrates by low cost SILAR technique by altering dipping cycle such as 40, 60, 80 and 100. The film thickness was estimated using weight gain method and it revealed that the film thickness increased with dipping cycle. The structural, morphological, elemental and FTIR properties of the coated Mn doped ZnO films were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), EDAX and FTIR spectrophotometer respectively. The prepared films were found to be hexagonal structure with polycrystalline in nature with preferential orientation along (002) plane. X-ray line profile analysis was used to evaluate the micro structural parameters. The crystallite size values are increased with increase of dipping cycle. Morphological results showed that the dipping cycle has a marked effect on morphology of the prepared Mn doped ZnO thin films. EDAX studies showed that the presence of Zinc, Oxygen and Mn content.
