AbstractA simple spray pyrolysis technique has been used to fabricate ZnO/Mn thin films with different Mn concentrations (0, 5, 10 and 15 mol.%) for gas sensing applications. X-ray diffraction (with Cu-Kα radiation) patterns of the samples revealed the formation of single-phase wurtzite structure. The samples were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. […]
