Studies on growth and characterization of ternary CdS1−xSex alloy thin films deposited by chemical bath deposition technique

Study on the introduction of Se into CdS thin films: Influence on the kinetics of the deposition and the structural and optical properties

“…It is assumed that the films are composed by a mixture of cubic and hexagonal phases because it is not possible, from these data, to distinguish the contribution of each phase to the intensity of the peaks. Even though the substrate is amorphous, the films present preferential orientation on (1 1 1), or (0 0 2) plane, as it has been reported to II-VI semiconductor thin films deposited by CSD [2,[19][20][21]. The crystalline quality of CdS 0.75 Se 0.25 films improves for longer deposition time.…”

Metal Chalcogenide Nanocrystalline Solid Thin Films

“…Sanchez-Ramirez et al 164 deposited CdS 1Àx Se x thin films on Corning glass substrates and studied the effect of varying composition 'x' on their structural, morphological and optical properties. Chaudhari et al 165 reported the deposition of CdS 1Àx Se x alloy thin films on glass substrates and studied their structural, compositional, morphological, optical and electrical properties. (xi)…”

Studies on growth and characterization of CdS1−xSex (0.0≤x≤1.0) alloy thin films by spray pyrolysis

“…However, for some optoelectronic applications it is important to be able to tune the emission wavelength. The tunability can be achieved through composition modulation, for example, alloyed II-VI semiconductor ternary of Cd 1−x Zn x S, Cd 1−x Mn x S, Zn x Mg 1−x O, and CdS 1−x Se x with continuously tuned band gap has been reported [6][7][8][9]. Consequently, wavelength tunable emission can be achieved from ternary compounds by simple adjustment of composition.…”
