“…The estimated band gap found to range between 1.8 to 2.295 when the time varies from (0.5 to 1.5) hrs. The optical energy gap variation is attributed to the improvement in the crystalline structure quality of the films as shown previously with the x-ray diffraction results [34,[53][54][55].…”

Chemical bath deposition method was employed for the deposition of smooth quantum size Ag2O nanostructure thin film on glass substrate at three different chemical interaction times. The structural properties shows the demonstration of Ag2O cubic structure at (002) diffraction plane. Optical properties reflect the dependence of energy gab on the interaction time with moderate band gab energy of about 2.25eV.Other physical properties such as SEM, AFM, was also investigated.

“…The CdS sensitized solar cells are attracting the researches for exploring the materials elaborately (Yan et al, 2013;Senthamilselvi et al, 2013). The noticeable efficiency of the CdS makes it to be useful as a window layer in solar cell materials with several other semiconductor materials such as ZnS (Hwang et al, 2012), Cu 2 S (Lindroos et al, 2000), FeS (Manikandan et al, 2014a), ZnSe (Raj et al, 2012), CdTe (Girish Kumar and Koteswara Rao, 2014) and CdSe (Deshpande et al, 2013). The CdS films is deposited by several coating techniques viz., chemical bath deposition (Rusu et al, 2003;Obaid et al, 2013;Oliva-Aviles et al, 2010), spray pyrolysis (Ikhmayies et al, 2013), spin coating (Seon et al, 2009), MOCVD (Yoon et al, 2006).…”

“…The CdS films is deposited by several coating techniques viz., chemical bath deposition (Rusu et al, 2003;Obaid et al, 2013;Oliva-Aviles et al, 2010), spray pyrolysis (Ikhmayies et al, 2013), spin coating (Seon et al, 2009), MOCVD (Yoon et al, 2006). However, all these techniques require sophisticated facilities like precise temperature control, high pressure, vacuum etc., In this regard; the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) technique is preferred due to its significantly low cost, simple, room temperature, without sulfuration and atmosphere preparative conditions (Manikandan et al, 2014b). In the SILAR process; the CdS films are deposited by sequentially dipping in into aqueous cationic and anionic precursor solutions of the reactants.…”

Abstract:The equimolar concentration thin films of Cadmium Sulfide (Cd x S x ) with the complexing agent TEA were deposited on a glass substrate by the SILAR technique. The crystalline nature with face centered cubic crystal system of the CdS films is determined from Xray diffraction analysis. The broadened diffraction peaks indicated nano sized particles of the film materials. The surface morphology of the films was studied by SEM analysis. The Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-ray (EDAX) plot confirms the equimolar composition of Cd and S ions in the film materials. Surface topography of the film was studied by AFM. The optical characteristic of absorbance, transmittance and band gap was analyzed by UV-visible spectra. The band gap energy of the material was observed as 2.18 eV and chemical bonding was studied by FT-IR spectral analysis.

This paper deals with the novel synthesis of CdS thin films with complexing agents TEA and Ammonia using the chemical bath deposition technique at room temperature UVis, FTIR, XRD, SEM and AFM characterisations were done. The influence of deposition and varying sulphur concentration on the optical absorption, transmittance, structural, surface morphological and topographical studies were examined. Band gap was observed for various sulphur concentrations structural studies revealed that, all the deposited films were nano-sized and crystalline in nature. Surface morphology showed that all the grains were spherical in nature and uniform. According to the properties observed it may be useful for solar cell and optoelectronics applications.
