Structural and optical properties of CdS:Sn thin films prepared by chemical spray pyrolysis method

Abstract: CdS and CdS:Sn thin films were successfully deposited on glasssubstrates by spray pyrolysis method. The films were grown atsubstrate temperatures 300 C°. The effects of Sn concentration on thestructural and optical properties were studied.The XRD profiles showed that the films are polycrystalline withhexagonal structure grown preferentially along the (002) axis. Theoptical studies exhibit direct allowed transition. Energy band gapvary from 3.2 to 2.7 eV.

“…For CdS, the peaks are identical, this leads to the conclusion that doped CdS may be classified into two types: substitution and interstitial. In this case, some ions are replaced by Cd + with a Sn + ion based on radius Cd,Sn((0.9,0.73,))Å 18,19 . The nanoparticles' average grain size at half maximum breadth, the entire width (FWHM) width Half of the wave height are calculated, then two vertical lines on the x-axis 2θ were projected from the beginning and end of the wave's mid-width, then (θ2-θ1), grain size, and 2 Ө of pure nanoparticles were calculated.…”

“…However, it has been employed in optical and electronic applications such as a tunnel junction barrier [23], selectively absorbing films for solar energy conversion, electrode material for electro chromic windows, solar energy shielding films for windows, and infrared (IR)-transmitting coatings, also in industrial applications such as in catalysis and solar thermal energy collectors. Furthermore, 𝐶𝑟 2 𝑂 3 can be an either p-type or n-type semiconductor depending on its growth conditions.…”

“…The plot of absorbance (A) and transmittance (T%) as a function of wavelength for all the film deposited on glass substrate with 250 nm thickness are depicted in figure (6) a and figure (6) b respectively. The transmittance spectrum of CdS thin film show that the film have high transmittace may be arrive to 80% at wavelength larger than 500 nm which related to the band edge absorption of CdS at this wavelength.…”

“…Cadmium sulphide CdS thin film is one of the II-VI compound semiconductors [2], it exists in the form of cubic or hexagonal in structure. Hexagonal is a yellowish and can be classified as the only real ore of cadmium [3], it highly doped n -type semiconductor due to the intrinsic defects with low electrical resistivity ranging from10 −3 to 10 8 Ω cm [4], wide direct energy gap (2.42 eV at room temperature) so that the blue region of the spectrum is absorbed by the crystal with large absorption coefficient of 4×10 4 cm −1 [5,6], high optical transparency down to wavelengths of around 515 nm. In particular, CdS have many applications in solid -state solar cells, green laser [7], light emitting diodes [8].…”
