Biophysical Characterization of Thin Films of Zinc Oxide Prepared by Sol-Gel
Abothur Almohana , Radea Hateem Jawad
Abstract
In this research, ZnO nano-powder was used, and the work was in two biological and physical parts. Where the work
of the first part was to examine the effect of ZnO powder on Staphylococcus aureus, and the result of inhibition was
100%. As for the second part, the preparation of a thin film by the Sol-Gel method, where thin films were deposited
on glass, the structural properties and topography of the surface were studied. The prevailing trend (101). Also, the
results of the atomic force microscopy (AFM) tests showed that the resulting granular size of the prepared and
annealed films with a temperature (400 ° C) was less than 100 nm, wherein an anti-bacterial nanoscale S. aureus was
made
