Thermal Annealing Influence over Optical Properties of Thermally Evaporated SnS/CdS Bilayer Thin Films
Thin films of tin sulfide/cadmium sulfide (SnS/CdS) were prepared bythermal evaporation method at room temperature on a glass substrate and then annealedat different temperature with the aim of optimizing the optical properties of the materialfor use in photovoltaic solar cell devices. The effect of annealing on optical propertiesof SnS/CdS film was studied in the temper...
متن کاملAnnealing induced phase transformations in amorphous As2S3 films
Amorphous arsenic sulphide As2S3 films prepared by ultrafast pulsed laser deposition have been vacuum annealed at a range of different temperatures. Measurements of the glass transition temperature indicate that a crystallization process initiates at annealing temperatures around 170 °C. In combination with Raman scattering analysis, we conclude that phase separation is intrinsic for our as-dep...
متن کاملNoise-induced roughening evolution of amorphous Si films grown by thermal evaporation.
We report a growth front morphology study of thermally evaporated amorphous Si films using atomic force microscopy. Since there are no well-defined atomic steps on an amorphous film surface, there is no Schwoebel barrier effect which would give rise to a moundlike morphology. The dynamic scaling characteristics observed during growth are unambiguously explained by a noise-induced growth mechani...
متن کاملEffect of annealing conditions on the physio-chemical properties of spin-coated As2Se3 chalcogenide glass films
Thin film selenide glasses have emerged as an important material for integrated photonics due to its high refractive index, mid-IR transparency and high non-linear optical indices. We prepared high-quality As2Se3 glass films using spin coating from ethylenediamine solutions. The physio-chemical properties of the films are characterized as a function of annealing conditions. Compared to bulk gla...
متن کاملNanoscale phase separation in ultrafast pulsed laser deposited arsenic trisulfide „As2S3... films and its effect on plasma etching
We have observed nanoscale phase separation in amorphous arsenic trisulfide As2S3 films produced by ultrafast pulsed laser deposition and its effect on the surface morphology of the film after plasma etching. When the film was etched in CF4–O2 plasma, a grainy structure was observed on the surface. From Raman and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, we concluded that the grainy structure of the ...
