Aluminum-doped zinc oxide thin films (ZnO:Al) were deposited on sodocalcic glass substrates by the chemical spray technique, using zinc acetate and aluminum pentanedionate as precursors. The effect of the [Al/Zn] ratio in the starting solution, as well as the substrate temperature, on the physical c...
