ZnO thick films were prepared by using standard screen printing technique and fired at different temperatures in air atmosphere. The DC resistance of the films was measured by half bridge method in air atmosphere at different temperatures. The films were showing decrease in resistance with increase in temperature indicating semiconductor behaviour.The resistivity, activation energy and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) are evaluated at different firing temperatures. The structural behaviour, surface morphology and phase composition were studied by XRD, SEM and EDX technique respectively.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
