AbstractThe effects of irradiation with high-energy protons (3 MeV, up to a fluency of 1013 protons/cm2), on structural, electrical and optical properties of polycrystalline CdS and CdTe thin films have been investigated. XRD investigation has revealed that the films contain wurtzite-type CdS, (001) preferentially oriented in the growth direction, and cubic phase CdTe, respectively. The defects induced by ionizing radiations have been studied by thermally stimulated currents spectroscopy (TSC). Parameters of identified defect levels were determined and their possible origin is discussed.

AbstractPolycrystalline chalcogenide semiconductors play a vital role in solar cell applications due to their outstanding electrical and optical properties. Among the chalcogenide semi-conductors, CdZnS is one kind of such important material for applications in various modern solid state devices such as solar cells, light emitting diode, detector etc. Due to their applications in numerous electro-optic devices, group II-VI semiconductors have been studied extensively. In recent years, major attention has been given to the study of electrical and optical properties of CdZnS thin films. In this work, Cd1−xZnxS thin films were prepared by chemical bath deposition technique. Phase purity and surface morphology properties were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. Chemical composition was studied using energy dispersive spectrophotometry (EDS). Optical band gap property was investigated using UV-Spectroscopy. Electrical conductivity studies were performed by two probe method and thermoelectric power setup (TEP) to determine the type of the material. This work reports the effect of Zn on structural, electrical, microstructural and optical properties of these films.
