“…It has been reported that the intrinsic quality of CdS and CdSe films improves if deposited at elevated substrate temperatures. 17,18 The present observations show that the action of the ultrasonic vibrations of the substrate is similar to the case of depositing at elevated substrate temperature.…”

Polycrystalline cadmium sulphide (CdS) and cadmium selenide (CdSe) films are deposited on glass substrates kept at room temperature using the method of resistive heating. In this article, the influence of substrate vibrations at ultrasonic frequency during deposition on the electrical properties of the films is discussed. The resistivity of the films has been studied as a function of temperature, and the activation energies have been determined for the films deposited on a vibrating substrate and on a static substrate. It is found that the carrier concentration is less in the case of the films deposited on vibrating substrate although the activation energy remains unaltered. This result is in agreement with the carrier concentration determined from Hall effect measurements on these films. The vibration of the substrate leads to better stoichiometry and crystallinity in the films as confirmed by x-ray diffraction studies.

“…This wavelength lies below the band gap and ␣р10 4 cm Ϫ1 is noticeably smaller than it is at 476.5 nm. 5,6 Nonetheless only a weak transmission of Ϸ2% was measured and almost identical behavior to that in Fig. 2 was observed.…”

The experiments were carried out at 300 K with argon and He-Ne lasers. In the blue and green spectral ranges, the experiments were described straightforwardly by the theoretical approach for highly absorptive materials, omitting the film thickness. For red light, the sample represents dielectric material and multiple reflections must be considered to fit the experiments. Furthermore, it is shown that the angular-dependent features of red light are an accurate tool to determine the film thickness.

Thin films of ZnSe have been deposited onto glass substrates at 373 K by thermal evaporation technique. The X-ray diffractogram confirmed that ZnSe has cubic type crystal structure. The lattice parameters of thin films are almost matching with the JCPDS 5 - 552 data for Zinc Selenide. The transmittance and reflectance have been measured at normal and near normal incidence, respectively, in the spectral range 200 - 2500 nm. The dependence of absorption coefficient, α in the photon energy have been determined. Analysis of the result showed that films of different thicknesses, direct transition occurs with band gap energies ranges from 2.2 to 2.6 eV. Refractive indices and extinction coefficients have been evaluated in the above spectral range
