Resumen
Zinc oxide thin films in cubic zinc blende (ZB) crystalline phase on glass substrates by means of the spray pyrolysis technique were deposited. X-ray diffraction spectra revealed that the ZB-ZnO films grow highly oriented along the (004) crystalline direction with no epitaxial influence. Optical absorbance measurements indicated that the forbidden energy band gap is 3.18±0.02 eV in accordance with reports on the experimental value of the band gap of ZB-ZnO structures. Atomic Force Microscopy images exhibit nanometric structures of the surface with the approximated aspect of circular nanodiscs. The thickness of the thin films is 350±20 nm, which suggests a good stability of the films.
