MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

We prepared CdS thin films from a solution containing cadmium acetate, thiourea, ammonia, and ammonium acetate. We varied fabrication conditions such as the concentrations of reactants, reaction temperature, and heat treatment, to investigate the changes in structural and optical properties of the film. Effects of substrate on the properties were also investigated.
