Abstract

The transparent copper boron oxide (CuBO2) thin films were coated on quartz glass substrates by the spray pyrolysis method. The produced films were annealed at three different temperatures (600, 700, and 800 °C). While the crystallographic properties of the as-grown and annealed films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), their surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In XRD analysis, the peak intensity was not observed in thin films as-grown and 600 °C annealed conditions. The peaks were observed at 36° and 39° in the XRD analyses for other films. It was seen from the SEM images that the films had smooth surfaces. The optical properties of the thin films were investigated by means of UV-Vis measurements.
