Annealing effects on the structural and optical properties of AgIn5S8 thin films

“…The very slight decrease in the value of the lattice constant as annealing temperature is raised may be attributed to the re-orientation of the crystallites in the preferable direction. The values still strongly agree with that reported for thin film and single crystals as well [6][7][8]11,12].…”

“…One of these ternary semiconductors is the compound AgIn 5 S 8 , which have attracted considerable attention [1][2][3][4][5][6]. AgIn 5 S 8 thin films have been fabricated by the pulsed laser deposition [3], thermal vacuum evaporation [4], vapour phase deposition [5], and spray pyrolysis [6] techniques.…”

“…AgIn 5 S 8 thin films have been fabricated by the pulsed laser deposition [3], thermal vacuum evaporation [4], vapour phase deposition [5], and spray pyrolysis [6] techniques. Some of the room temperature structural, electrical, photoconductive and optical properties of these films have been investigated [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Furthermore, AgIn 5 S 8 have been successfully used in technological applications.…”

Photoconductivity kinetics in AgIn5S8 thin films

“…AgIn 5 S 8 thin films are attracting considerable attention [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] due to their technological applications. It has been shown that the photosensitive AgIn 5 S 8 /(InSe, GaSe) heterojunctions can be fabricated using bulk crystals grown from the melt and from the vapor phase or polycrystalline thin films of the ternary compound.…”

Optical and electrical characterization of AgInS2 thin films deposited by spray pyrolysis

“…SP has been used to deposit AgInS 2 thin films [4,[7][8][9]; however, all the research work has been carried out by using silver chloride [9], silver nitrate [9], and silver acetate [4,[7][8][9] as the silver source; indium * Corresponding author. Tel.…”
