Cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin films have been deposited by chemical bath deposition method (CBD) on CdTe substrates. The temperature of the deposition was varied from 40 oC to 70oC under stirring, pH of complexing agent about 10-11.5 and doping by CdCl2. The morphology was composed of small columnar crystals, characterized by SEM. The crystallographic structure contains a mixture of hexagonal and cubic structures were study by TEM. The energy gap values 2.395 eV were found calculated by reflectance spectra using UV-VIS spectrometer. This study showed the correlation of deposition temperature, grain size, energy gap and observed some properties of CdS nanocrystal in the films.
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.
