Abstract :

Co3O4 films have been deposited onto glass substrates by chemical bath deposition for different deposition time. The deposited films appear blackish. The thicknesses of the Co3O4 samples have been determined by ellipsometer measurements. The films have been examined to evaluate the structural and optical properties. X ray diffraction spectra have revealed that the films are polycrystalline with face-centered-cubic phase. The structural and surface morphological properties of the films were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-rayspectrometer (EDX). The optical band gap values of the films were evaluated from the absorbance measurements in the wavelength range 190�3300 nm.
