Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Spray pyrolysis is a simple, inexpensive and economical method to produce a thin film on large substrate area. Semiconducting thin films of CdZnTe2 have been deposited onto preheated glass substrate by varying substrate temperature from 250°C at an interval of 25°C to 325°C. The optimized deposition temperature is around 300°C.From optical transmission and reflection spectra, absorption coefficient(α) was calculated at various wavelengths ranging from 350 to 1100 nm and was of the order of 1.58 x 104 cm -1 to 7.635 x104 cm-1 .Band gap energy were determined from absorbance measurement in visible range using Tauc theory. It shows that the main transition at the fundamental absorption edge is a direct allowed transition. At the temperature of 300°C, the optical band gap is found to be 2.04 eV. At the temperatures less than or greater than 300°C, the optical band gap goes on increasing. The band gap energy value 2.04 eV is most suitable for many scientific studies and technological applications such as heat mirrors, transparent electrodes and solar cells. SEM study provide the information regarding the morphology of the material which confirms the formation of nano sized, nanotubes. Electrical conductivity was measured by four probe method. Arrhenius plots shows the semiconducting nature of films.
