In this study, zinc selenide (ZnSe) thin films were produced on glass substrate by using chemical bath deposition (CBD) method at 80[Formula: see text]C, from aqueous solutions of zinc sulphate and sodium selenosulphide, which were produced using solid selenium as the selenium source. The optical and structural properties of ZnSe thin films were investigated at room-temperature. The pH of the chemical bath, in which ZnSe thin films were immersed, were changed between pH:8–11. Optical properties of the films, including extinction coefficient, refractive index, reflectance, absorbance, transmittance, dielectric constants and optical density values were calculated using absorbance and transmittance measurements determined using a Hach Lange 500 spectrophotometer, in 300–1100 nm wavelength range. Optical bandgap values were obtained from transmittance and absorbance spectra ranged between 2.12 and 2.49 eV. According to XRD results, it was found that the films have polycrystalline structure and they exhibited different film thicknesses depending on phase and pH changes.

: Thin films of PbS were prepared onto glass substrates by using a simple and cost effective CBD method. Influence of deposition time on structural, morphology and optical properties have been investigated systematically. The XRD analysis revealed that PbS films are polycrystalline with preferred orientation in (200) direction. Enhancement in crystallinity and PbS crystallite size has been observed with increase in deposition time. Formation of single phase PbS thin films has been further confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The surface morphology analysis revealed the formation of prismatic and pebble-like PbS particles and with increase in deposition time these PbS particles are separated from each other without secondary growth. The data obtained from the EDX spectra shows the formation of high-quality but slightly sulfur rich PbS thin films over the entire range of deposition time studied. All films show increase in absorption with increase in deposition time and a strong absorption in the visible and sub-band gap regime of NIR range of the spectrum with red shift in band edge. The optical band gap shows decreasing trend, as deposition time increases but it is higher than the band gap of bulk PbS.

Lead tin sulphide (Pb-Sn-S) thin films (TFs) were deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates via the electrochemical deposition process using lead (II) nitrate [Pb(NO3)2], tin (II) chloride dehydrate [SnCl2.2H2O] and thiacetamide [C2H5NS] precursors as sources of lead (Pb), tin (Sn) and sulphur (S). The solution of all the compounds was harmonized with a stirrer (magnetic) at 300k. In this study, we reported on the improvements in the properties (structural and optical) of Pb-Sn-S TFs by varying the deposition time. We observed from X-ray diffractometer (XRD) that the prepared material is polycrystalline in nature. UV-Vis measurements were done for the optical characterizations and the band gap values were seen to be increasing from 1.52 to 1.54 eV with deposition time. In addition to this, the absorption coefficient and refractive index were also estimated and discussed.

CdTe thin films have been prepared by electrochemical deposition. The morphological, structural, and optical properties of CdTe thin films deposited with different deposition time were investigated, and the influence of film thickness on the photoelectric characteristics of CdTe thin films was studied. At the deposition time of 1.5 h, CdTe thin films had good optical properties and the photocurrent reached 20 μAcm−2. Furthermore, the Pt/CdS/CdTe/FTO structure was prepared to improve its PEC stability and the photocurrent of 240 μAcm−2 had been achieved.

ZnS thin films were deposited at three different radios of V(NH3·H2O)/V(N2H4) on glass substrates by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method without stirring the deposition bath during the deposition process. The structural and optical properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The results showed that ZnS thin film deposited at the radio of V(NH3·H2O)/V(N2H4)=15:15 is higher than that of the other two different solutions. With the radio of V(NH3·H2O)/V(N2H4) decreasing from 15:5 to 15:15, homogenous precipitation of Zn (OH)2easily forms in the bath, but ZnS precipitation first become suppressed and then easily forms in solution. It means that the concentration of OH-ion increases with the volume of N2H4increasing, which accelerates the formation of Zn (OH)2. However, when the volume of N2H4increases to 15mL, relatively high concentration of OH-ion not only accelerates the formation of Zn (OH)2, but also be used to the hydrolysis of thiourea. The average transmissions of all the ZnS films from three different solutions (V(NH3·H2O)/V(N2H4)=15:5, 15:10 and 15:15) are greater than 90% for wavelength values in visible region. The direct band gaps range from 3.80 to 4.0eV. The ZnS film deposited for 2.5h with the radio of V(NH3·H2O)/V(N2H4)=15:15 has the cubic structure only after single deposition.

In this work Zinc oxide thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. A set of ZnO thin films were deposited with various deposition times, on glass substrate at 350 °C. The precursor solution is formed with zinc acetate in distilled methanol with 0.1 molarity. The deposition time was ranged from 2 to 8 min. The structural and optical properties of those films were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UV). X-ray diffraction patterns of the ZnO thin films showed polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure and the preferred orientation was along (002) plane when the grain size varied between 9.66 and 16.67nm. ZnO thin films were highly transparent in the visible with the maximum transmittance of 85% and the optical band gap was found between 3.25 and 3.28 eV.
