Ternary nanostructurred zinc selenosulphide (ZnS0.6Se0.4) thin film was grown on glass substrate using chemical bath deposition technique employing ammonia free precursors at 80 °C. As deposited thin film exhibits nanostructurred polycrystalline nature confirmed by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). The optical band gap (Eg) was calculated from the observed transmittance spectra by Urbach method and found to be 3.29 eV. The optical and electrical properties' study revealed that ZnS0.6Se0.4 thin film is useful in optoelectronic device fabrication and applications, and as an environment friendly alternative to the commonly used toxic material such as CdS.
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.
