Ternary thin films of Silver Aluminium Sulphide (AgAlS 2) have been prepared by chemical bath deposition techniques. Aqueous solution of 41.5 mls containing AgNO 3 , Al 2 (SO 4) 3 , thiourea and EDTA was used, where AgNO 3 , Al 2 (SO 4) 3 , thiourea were the source of Ag + , Al + and Srespectively and EDTA was used as a complexing agent. NaOH served as pH adjuster. The films were deposited at 300K of temperature. The deposited film properties were studied using a Janway UV-VIS spectrophotometer. From the spectral analysis of absorbance and transmittance, the optical and solid properties were obtained. The properties studied include the reflectance, absorption coefficient, thickness, refractive index, extinction coefficient, optical conductivity and band gap energy. The films show high absorbance in the UV
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
