Electroplated CuO Thin Films from High Alkaline Solutions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CuO thin films were coated on ITO substrates by an electrodeposition route through potentiostatic mode. The electrodeposited CuO thin films were characterized and the role of copper sulphate concentration on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the CuO films was studied. Film thickness was measured by a stylus profilometer and found to be in the range between 800 and 1400 nm. The structural characteristics studies were carried out using X-ray diffraction and found that the films are polycrystalline in nature with a cubic structure. The preferential orientation of CuO thin films is found to be along (111) plane. The estimated microstructural parameters revealed that the crystallite size increases whereas the number of crystallites per unit area decreases with increasing film thickness. SEM studies show that the grain sizes of CuO thin films vary between 100 and 150 nm and also morphologies revealed that the electrodeposited CuO exhibits uniformity in size and shape. The surface roughness is estimated 15 nm of the CuO film were studied by atomic force microscopy. Optical properties of the films were analyzed from absorption and transmittance studies. The optical band gap energy was determined to be 1.5 eV from absorption coefficient. The variation of refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k), with wavelength was studied and the results are discussed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
