APPLICATION OF CHALCOGENIDE LAYERS: THE FUTURE OF MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS
Chalcogenide materials have gained significant interest in biomedical applications due to their unique optical, electrical, and change properties. This research focuses on integrating chalcogenide thin films into biosensors and optical imaging technologies, aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy, enable real-time imaging, and contribute to the miniaturization of medical diagnostic devices.

INTEGRATED STRUCTURAL, OPTICAL, AND DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF PZT/ITO THIN FILMS FOR TRANSPARENT SENSORS APPLICATIONS
Conductive thin films on PZT are used in applications from autofocus cameras to smartphone screens. In this study, PZT and quartz lenses were coated with 900 nm of ITO using DC sputtering, a plasma-based deposition method. XRD verified the crystalline structure, while EDX validated the composition. UV/VIS transmittance data was analyzed via the Swanepoel method.
