Characterization of nanocrystalline cadmium telluride thin films grown by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method

Influence of wide band gap oxide substrates on the photoelectrochemical properties and structural disorder of CdS nanoparticles grown by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method

The photoelectrochemical properties of nanoheterostructures based on the wide band gap oxide substrates (ZnO, TiO2, In2O3) and CdS nanoparticles deposited by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method have been studied as a function of the CdS deposition cycle number (N). The incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) passes through a maximum with the increas...

An Investigation of SILAR Grown CdO Thin Films

Cadmium oxide (CdO) thin films were deposited on the glass substrate by the modified SILAR method, using cadmium acetate dihydrate and ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution as precursors. The structural, surface morphological, elemental composition and optical properties of the deposited films were investigated via X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, EDAX,...

Characterization of nanocrystalline -Fe2O3 thin films grown by reactive evaporation and oxidation of iron

Iron oxide thin films, with an α-Fe2O3 phase, were deposited by two techniques. The first was evaporation of iron in vacuum, followed by oxidation through annealing in air. The second was reactive evaporation of iron in an oxygen atmosphere. This was also followed by annealing in air. The structural, morphological and chemical properties of the films were investigated. All films were polycrysta...
