Description

The effects of oxygen pressure on the structural and optical properties of GeO2 thin films grown at 400°C on quartz substrates using pulsed laser deposition technique have been investigated. The films were characterized 102 using XRD, AFM, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy. XRD results reveal that the films exhibit the hexagonal GeO2 phase along (101) preferred orientation. AFM images show that the surface morphology of films drastically changes with oxygen pressure. An increase in transmittance and optical band gap is obtained with the variation in oxygen pressure. The effects of variation in oxygen pressure on growth of GeO2 thin films are discussed in detail. (author)
