Thin films of vanadium oxide (V2O5-x) were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering process and are heat treated to study the annealing effect. As-deposited thin films are amorphous in nature and crystallinity is improved by annealing the sample. Thin layers with high density and small grain size varying from 36 nm to 70 nm were seen in the FESEM images of as-deposited thin films. In the case of annealed thin films, it has been transformed to thin elongated rod like structure with 202.5 nm length and an average diameter of approximately 48 nm. Optical properties were studied by using UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer and the reduction in transmission in annealed thin films is due to the crystalline nature of thin films. Studies were done on the samples by taking photoluminescence and Laser Raman spectra.
Keywords: vanadium oxide, rf magnetron sputtering, annealing.

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
