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

Optical and electrical transport properties of spray deposited CdS1−xSex thin films

“…SEM studies showed polycrystalline texture with nearly smooth surface and clearly defined grains. EDAX study confirmed nearly stoichiometric deposition of CdS 1−x Se x thin films [18].…”

“…It has been reported that chemically deposited CdS and CdSe films depending upon preparative conditions, show cubic, hexagonal or mixed (cubic + hexagonal) crystal structures. X-ray diffraction patterns of spray deposited CdS 1−x Se x (0 < x < 1) thin films are depicted elsewhere [18]. It is seen that all samples are polycrystalline over entire range of composition parameter.…”

“…0.025 M aqueous solutions of cadmium chloride dehydrate (CdCl2·2H2O), thiourea ((NH2)2CS) and selenourea ((NH2)2CSe) were used as starting materials. The temperature of substrate was controlled by an iron-constantan thermocouple and kept constant at its optimized value of 300 • C [18]. The spray rate employed was 3 ml/min and kept constant throughout the experiment.…”

“…In past II-VI thin films have been prepared by different deposition techniques like electrodeposition [1,10] chemical bath deposition [10][11][12][13], vacuum evaporation [14,15], pulse plating [16], and chemical spray pyrolysis [17,18]. Among these various deposition techniques available for preparation of thin films, the spray pyrolysis, which has the advantages of low cost, easy-to-use, safe and can be implemented in a standard laboratory, has been known to be suitable for many scientific studies and technological applications.…”

Properties of spray deposited nanocrystalline indium selenide thin films

“…Indium selenide thin films are deposited onto glass substrates by a computerized spray pyrolysis method [31]. The substrate temperature was varied from 300 to 400°C at the interval of 25°C.…”
