    abstract = {Pure Nickel Oxide (NiO) and thin films (NiO:Al) were prepared using a simple spray pyrolysis
technique from hydrated Nickel Chloride salt solution (NiCl<sub>2</sub> , 6H<sub>2</sub> O). The optical, structural and morphological 
properties of the fabricated films have been investigated. X-ray diffraction studies revealed a polycrystalline
nickel oxide phase with cubic crystalline structure, predominantly with 111, 200 and 222 oriented films. The
highest measured optical transmittance in the visible range is 79%. The morphology of the surface samples of
thin films were investigated by Atomic Force Microscopic (AFM).}
