Abstract
Thin films of silver: zirconium oxide (Ag: ZrO2), prepared using the spin coating method (SCM) with 2% silver
nitrate (Ag NO3) and 1% zirconium nitrate (Zr (NO3) 4) on glass substrate at room temperature, with different spin speeds
(1000, 2000 and 3000) rpm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission scanning electron microscopy were used to
investigate the structural properties of the grown silver films. The optical properties of these thin films were distinguished
by UV-vis spectroscopy. The films' polycrystalline nanostructure was revealed by X-rays, and the grain size shrank with
increasing spin speed (from 1000 to 3000 rpm). The scanning electron microscope showed that the average particle size also
decreases from (80.7 - 42.67) nm with an increase in the spin speed from (1000 - 3000). and Uv-vis spectroscopy showed
that the transparency of the films increases, while the absorbance, coefficient attenuation, and absorption coefficient of the
films decrease when the spin speed increases.
