Revealing the impact of strontium doping on the optical, electronic and electrical properties of nanostructured 2H-CuFeO₂ delafossite thin films.

ABSTRACT: Delafossite materials are considered to be a promising range of transparent conductive oxides for optoelectronic applications. The complications that have held back their implementation in practical devices lie in the complex growth methods that are required and in the formation of undesirable secondary phases. Herein, a fast, simple, and low-cost deposition method allowing the deposition of high-quality 2H-CuFeO₂ nanostructured thin films is employed. The effect of Sr doping on the properties of spray-coated CuFeO₂ thin film annealed at 850 °C is reported. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the delafossite structures of all the samples corresponding to the 2H-CuFeO₂ phase. The lattice spacing decreased with increasing substitution of Sr at the Cu si
