Nano-indentation mechanical characterizations of solution processed inorganic metal oxide thin films and influence of grain size

Aluminum-doped zinc oxide thin films were prepared by solution synthesis where molarity concentrations and mixing ratios for oxide and dopant sources were changed while deposition and pre- and post-deposition annealing steps remained the same. Post-deposition high-temperature annealing is known to i...
