Abstract
Antimony-incorporated TiO2 thin films were prepared using the spray-pyrolysis technique. The optical characteristics (percentage transmittance, refractive index, extinction coefficient) and the film thickness were investigated. The resistivity of the prepared samples was measured, and the effect of Sb concentration and film thickness on the measured parameters was discussed. The effect of Sb on the band-gap was also studied.
