Abstract

One of the first and most frequently-used methods for the investigation of thin films obtained by chemical solution deposition is IR spectroscopy. Infrared spectroscopy (or vibration absorption spectroscopy) provides information about the covalent bonds in the chemical groups of the investigated materials. IR spectroscopy allows both the solutions used for film deposition and the films obtained to be investigated by using different deposition methods. The following characteristics are among the most important results obtained: composition of the initial reagents, molecular structure of the solutions obtained by mixing different reagents, reactions in the solutions during storage, influence of the type of solution (alcoholic or aqueous) on the characteristics of the deposited films, and crystallization by thermal treatment of the structure of as-deposited films which are usually amorphous.
