Influence of ytterbium (Yb) dopant on the optical properties of electrochemically deposited zinc oxide (ZnO) films

Undoped and ytterbium-doped ZnO films were synthesized on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conductive substrates using zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO _3 ).6H _2 O), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), ytterbium nitrate penta-hydride (Yb (NO _3 ) _3 .5H _2 O) as sources of Zn ^2+ , O ^2− and Yb ^2+ ions respecti...
