Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Thin films of CuO having an average thickness of 720 nm were deposited on clean glass substrates using the Aqueous Chemical Growth (ACG) method with Cu(NO3)2 and C6H12N4 as precursors and annealed at different temperatures in order to determine the effect of annealing temperature on their optical and solid state properties. The study was carried out using Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) spectroscopy for t thickness and chemical composition, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) for crystallographic structure and a UV-VIS spectrophotometer for spectral analysis. The results indicate that the absorbance and absorption/extinction coefficient of the films vary inversely with annealing temperature while the transmittance, reflectance, direct band gap, real/imaginary dielectric constants and refractive index vary directly with annealing temperature. The results further indicate an improvement in crystallinity as annealing temperature increases. The as-deposited and annealed ACG CuO thin films were found to be suitable for use as window layer in solar cells among other electronic and optoelectronic applications.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
