Characteristics of pulse electrodeposited PbS thin films

Physical properties of pulse electrodeposited lead sulfide thin films

“…PbS thin films can be obtained by different deposition techniques such as vacuum evaporation [10], successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) [11], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [12], electrodeposition (ED) [13][14][15][16], and chemical bath deposition (CBD) [17,18]. Among the above mentioned methods CBD and ED are mostly used as low cost film growth techniques.…”

“…The pulse electrodeposition (PED) where the excess metal ions and weak bonds can be removed by applying periodic oxidation (E 2 ) and reduction (E 1 ) potentials has been reported in the case of semiconductor thin films [19,20]. Recently Thirumoorthy and Murali reported pulse electrodeposition of PbS thin films [14].…”
