Implantation-assisted Co-doped CdS thin films: Structural, optical, and vibrational properties

Abstract: This paper reports on structural, optical, vibrational, and morphological properties of cobalt-doped CdS thin films, prepared by 90 keV Co + implantation at room temperature. In this work, we have used cobalt concentration in the range of 0.34-10.8 at. %. Cobalt doping does not lead to the formation of any secondary phase, either in the form of metallic clusters or impurity complexes. However, with increasing cobalt concentration a decrease in the optical band gap, from 2.39 to 2.26 eV, is observed. This reduc… Show more

“…The band gap of Cd 0.9 Zn 0.1 S nanoparticles was obtained as 3.91 eV, and the band gap of Co = 1, 2 and 3 % doped Cd 0.9-x Zn 0.1 S nanoparticles were found to be 3.95, 3.88, and 3.84 eV, respectively. The present red shift (reduction) of energy gap is supported by Chandramohan et al [18] in Co-doped CdS. The reduced energy gap with Co substitution is mainly due to sp-d exchange interaction between the band electrons and the localized d electrons of the Co 2?…”

“…From figure 4.2 (b), the (101) peak position is shifted a little towards higher angles with increase of the Ni content. This could be due to the CdS lattice modification by the Ni (10 at.%) doping because of the difference in radii of Cd (0.98Å) and Ni (0.74Å) which is consist with the earlier reports on Nidoped CdS systems[25]. This may confirms the formation of pure Ni doped CdS particles.…”

“…In recent years, transition metal (TM) doped nanoparticles have fascinated wide scientific attention because of their unique optical properties [8][9][10][11][12][13] and their potentiality for various applications other than biomedical labelling [14,15]. Lastly, the efficiency of CdS semiconductor was improved by changing its optical and/or electrical properties by doping with some transition metals such as copper [16,17], manganese [18,19] and cobalt [20]. Experimentally, Srinivasa et al [21] have successfully prepared Ni doped CdS nanoparticles by conventional chemical co-precipitation method and found that doping CdS with Ni modify the luminescence properties by creating shallow acceptor states.…”
