Silver-doping in SnS films can improve the semiconducting properties of SnS films. Based on our previous research, SnS:Ag thin films were deposited on ITO coated glass by pulse electro-deposition in order to study their structural, optical and electrical properties. SnS:Ag thin films were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) , Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and some other methods. The primary composition of the films is SnS, but maybe there is a little quantity of SnS2, Ag8SnS6 and other compounds. The doped films exhibit good crystallization with big grain size. They have an optical gap of 1.66~1.89eV and a high absorption coefficient (α>5×104cm-1). Hall measurement has shown that all the samples are of p-type conduction with low resistivity of the order of 10-3Ω•cm, and the carrier concentration increases to 1019cm-3 after Ag-doping. In conclusion, the semiconducting properties of the SnS films have been improved by silver-doping. Thus, SnS:Ag thin films can be used as solar cells absorbers.

Novel electrically conducting polymeric materials are prepared in this work. Polythiophene (PT) and poly (3-Methelthiophene) (P3MT) films were prepared by electro-polymerization method using cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile as a solvent and lithium tetrafluoroborate as the electrolyte on a gold electrode. Electrical properties of P3MT have been examined in different environments using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and quantum mechanical ab initio calculations, The observed absorption peaks at 314 and 415 nm, were attributed to the n-π* and π-π* transitions, respectively in the conjugated polymer chain, in contrast, the observed absorbance peak at 649 nm, is responsible for electric conduction. The temperature dependence of the conductivity can be fitted to the Arrhenius and the VTF equations in different temperature ranges.

CdHgTe thin films were grown onto glass substrate via the Chemical bath deposition technique. XRD results indicate that a CdHgTe formed with a cubic polycrystalline structure. The crystallinity of CdHgTe thin films is gradually deteriorate with increasing the gamma irradiation. EDS spectrums confirms the presence of Cd, Hg and Te elements. DC electrical conductivity results depicted the conductivity of CdHgTe increase with increasing a gamma ray dosage
