![]() ![]() It is observed that variation in growth temperature (30−500 ☌) alters the growth mechanism (from Volmer–Weber to Stranski–Krastanov), surface features, stoichiometry, crystallite size, stress/strain, as well as dislocation densities. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of NiO films grown at various temperatures are probed and the obtained results are correlated thoroughly. Therefore, herein, an analysis of the temperature-driven perturbations in the growth kinetics of associated properties of NiO thin films grown via radio-frequency sputtering technique is reported. Despite their critical importance, the synthesis of quality NiO thin films has remained a challenging issue. Nickel (II) oxide (NiO) is an emerging transparent semiconducting oxide with potential applications in modern-world ultraviolet active solar cells and visible-blind photodetectors.
