Behavior of chemically deposited PbS thin films subjected to two different routes of post deposition annealing

Effect of annealing temperature on optical and electrical properties of lead sulfide thin films

“…For samples it was observed that absorption coefficient has the higher value at 150°C. Pretha et al [8] concluded that optical properties of chemically deposited PbS thin films are strongly influenced by heat treatment.…”

“…Preetha et al [8] examined the influence of annealing on optical and electrical properties of PbS thin films. Xu et al [9] have studied physical properties of PbS thin films that prepared at different reaction temperatures.…”

Studies on structural, morphological and optical behavior of chemically deposited Cd0.5Pb0.5S thin films

“…The XRD pattern also showed that the crystallinity of thin films was improved at higher M a n u s c r i p t annealing temperature without any phase transformation. Hence the Cd 0.5 Pb 0.5 S thin films are stable at higher annealing temperatures [24].…”

Metal Chalcogenide Nanocrystalline Solid Thin Films

“…Pentia et al 133 deposited nanocrystalline PbS thin films with good photosensitivity for its application in IR detectors. Preetha et al 134 prepared PbS thin films on soda-lime glass substrates at room temperature and studied the effect of rapid and gradual annealing on their structural, morphological and optical properties. Altıok-ka et al 135 152 reported the deposition of Pb x Cd 1Àx S thin films on glass and stainless steel substrates as used in PEC cells.…”
