Enhanced photoconductive response of ZnO thin films with the impact of annealing temperatures on structural and optical properties.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a versatile material widely used in optoelectronic devices due to its broad bandgap (3.37 eV), high electron mobility, and significant exciton binding energy (60 meV). In this study, ZnO thin films were fabricated on SiO₂/Si substrates via thermal evaporation, followed by annealing at 400 °C and 600 °C to investigate the effect of thermal treatment on their structural, optical, and photoconductive properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of the hexagonal wurtzite ZnO structure, with improved crystallinity observed at higher annealing temperatures. The photoconductivity of the films demonstrated enhanced response times and self-powered behavior, particularly in the sample annealed at 600 °C. These findings highlight the potential of ZnO thin films for fast-response photodetection applications and show that controlled annealing significantly influences photosensitivity.
