In the current status, we have successfully synthesized lead sulfide (PbS) thin films using a modified successive ionic layer absorption and reaction (SILAR) method. The synthesized film was characterized using UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques for optical, structural and morphological properties. Opto-structural study demonstrates that synthesized thin film has a pure crystal structure. The surface morphology study indicates a nanospherical surface morphology without pinhole on the substrate surfaces. Overall study clearly demonstrates that the synthesized PbS thin film by SILAR method have great potential for sensitization of oxide microstructure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
