Compositional effect on optical characteristics of solution grown (Cd1−xSnx)S thin films

Effect of annealing and composition on crystal structure, surface morphology and optical absorption of chemically deposited Cd1‐xSnxS films

“…The crystallite size plays an important role on the optical behavior of the films. The high photoconductivity of the thin films which was observed earlier [10] could be attributed to lattice defects and dislocations developed in the thin film prepared by CBD. After annealing the grain size further reduced with increasing Sn doping concentration and its variation with Sn composition is shown in figure 5.…”

“…The crystallite size of pure and doped CdS thin films is also expected to decrease by increasing doping concentration, indicating the formation of nanostructure phase [8][9]. Since Cd 1-x Sn x S has advantage over CdS in changing the band gap of the material [4,10], in the present work, films of mixed system Cd 1-x Sn x S have been prepared using chemical bath deposition technique. In the present study annealing effect on the crystal structure, surface morphology and optical absorption of Cd 1-x Sn x S thin films are studied and are reported in the next sections.…”

Ethylene-vinyl Acetate Thermoplastic Copolymers Filled with Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes: Effect of Hydrothermal Ageing on Mechanical, Thermal, and Electrical Properties

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Now mixing of polymers and CNTs opens ways to develop high performance engineering composites with multi-functional properties, particularly with the incorporation of the functionality of electrical conductiv-ity. [10][11][12][13][14][15] In recent years, there is a growing interest in using conductive polymer-based nanocomposites in various advanced technological applications such as optoelectronic packaging, electrically conductive adhesive joints, or antistatic materials for electromagnetic interference shielding of electronic devices. [14][15][16][17][18] The benefit from using extrinsically conductive polymer composites compared to intrinsically conductive polymers is that their electrical conductivity, mechanical properties, and processability can be easily tuned by a proper selection of filler, matrix polymer, and their relative proportion.…”

[14] Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers received considerable attention in the literature due to their technological relevance and wide availability.…”

“…A great number of studies have been conducted on CNT reinforced thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] including EVA-based nanocomposites, [11,14,15,25] mainly focusing on the investigation of structure-property relationships, characterization of thermo-physical, [1,4,7,10,12,25,26] mechanical, [4][5][6]11,26] and electrical [10][11][12][13][14] properties. However, there are not many studies on water absorption properties of such nanocomposites and influence of hydrothermal ageing on physical and mechanical properties.…”
