Abstract

Thin films of Cd_xZn_(1-x)S (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) were deposited on glass substrates by the chemical spray pyrolysis technique using a less used combination of chemicals. The variation of structural properties of these films in relation with composition was studied in detail. The entire study was made for a wide range of compositions of Cd_xZn _(1-x) S thin films (x=0 to 1 in steps of 0.1). XRD studies reveal that all the films are polycrystalline with hexagonal (wurtzite) structure of which reflection peaks associated with (100), (002) and (110) planes were clearly identified for all the films and inclusion of cadmium into the structure of ZnS improved the crystallinity of the films. The value of lattice constants 'a' and 'c' was found to vary with composition from 0.382 to 0.415 nm and 0.625 to 0.675 nm respectively.
