Lead sulfide thin films were grown by means of chemical bath deposition using thermostatically controlled conditions, microwave and ultrasonic irradiation. The film was characterized by means of XRD, SEM and EDX methods. According to XRD deposited film has a cubic structure of PbS. SEM confirmed nanosize nature of thin film that depend on deposition conditions. The dark resistance and photosensitivity of PbS film is shown to correlate with deposition time, concentration of ammonium iodide in reaction mixture, ultrasound and microwave influences.
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.
