“…The decrease of optical band gap with the decrease of Zn/S molar ratio could be attributed to the structural and morphological change as well as the stoichiometric deviations in the film which gave rise to the formation of located states in the band gap region. Other possibilities to explain this change in optical band gap could be related to the increase in particle size and this is well known for colloidal semiconductors [34,35]. It should be emphasized that the film deposited from Zn/S ¼ 0.2 in the solution bath shows an optical band gap (E g ) of 3.68 eV, which closely agreed with other values previously reported for ZnS bulk [30].…”

“…It is found that the average grain size is increased from 14 to 29 nm with the increasing deposition time from 5 to 15 s and then it is decreased from 21 to 17 nm for the adsorption time from 20 to 25 s. This decrease of grain size can be attributed to decrease of attracting force between the crystals such as Van der Waals; this is due to prolonged existence in the solution [16]. Dislocation density (d) of the film can be calculated using the Eq.…”

“…From the results of the texture coefficient calculation for (0 0 2) plane, it is found that the texture coefficient value is greater than 1, it indicates the good crystalline quality of the grown film. This represents that the number of grains oriented along this plane is more than the other planes [17]. Figure 2 shows the room temperature Raman spectrum of CuO thin film prepared at 15 s adsorption time.…”

“…As a result, the broadness and reduction of XRD peaks intensity might originate from manganese-related defects and manganese segregation. The average grain size (D) was calculated using the Scherrer formula [20].…”
