Abstract

This paper presents the effect of solution temperature on optical, electrical and photoconducting properties of CdS films prepared by chemical deposition method. The solution temperatures used varied between 55 and 75 °C. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the prepared films have an hexagonal structure with (002) reflection. The transmittance data analysis showed a high transmission coefficient in visible range (85%) and an optical band gap lying between 2 and 2.4 eV. Scanning electron (...)
