Abstract AR

في هذا البحث أجريت القياسات البصرية و التوصيلية الكهربائية لأغشية أوكسيد الحديد (Fe2O3) المحضرة بطريقة الرش الكيميائي الحراري دالة لتغير السمك (250, 350, 450, and 550) ± 20 nm.

و لقد حسبت التوصية الكهربائية (σ), و طاقات التنشيط (Ea1, Ea2)، و الثوابت البصرية مثل معامل الامتصاص و معامل الخمود و ثابت العزل الكهربائي ضمن مدى الأطوال الموجية (300-900) nm لأغشية (Fe2O3) دالة لتغير السمك، و قد أظهرت كل الأغشية آليتين للانتقال الإلكتروني و لوحظ زيادة التوصيلية الكهربائية مع نقصان طاقات التنشيط بزيادة سمك الأغشية المحضرة.

و بينت القياسات البحرية أن لأغشية (Fe2O3) فجوة طاقة مباشرة و تزداد قيمتها بصورة عامة بزيادة السمك.

Abstract EN

In this research the electrical conductivity and optical measurements were made on the Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) films prepared by chemical spray pyrolysis method as a function of thickness (250, 350, 450, and 550) ± 20 nm.

The measurements of electrical conductivity (σ), activation energies (Ea1, Ea2),and optical constant such as absorption coefficient, refractive index, extinction coefficient and the dielectric constants for the wavelengths in the range (300-900) nm have been investigated on (Fe2O3) thin films as a function of thickness.

All films contain two types of transport mechanisms, and the electrical conductivity (σ) increases whereas the activation energy (Ea) would decrease as the films thickness increases.

The optical measurement shows that the Fe2O3 films have a direct energy gap, and they in general increase with the increase of thickness.
