Effect of N+ ion implantation on the optical properties of nanostructured CdS thin film prepared by CBD technique

Carbon and Neon Ion Bombardment Induced Smoothing and Surface Relaxation of Titania Nanotubes

“…Indeed, detailed descriptions of stress-induced effects as well as relaxation based on Raman peak shifts were given by Anastassakis et al and De Wolf for materials such as silicon and diamond [ 34 , 35 ]. In addition, Nair et al described changes in Raman spectra of nanostructured CdS thin films activated by ion implantation that underline our findings [ 36 ].…”

Recent status of chemical bath deposited metal chalcogenide and metal oxide thin films

“…Narayanan et al [46,47] showed that nitrogen and boron ions implanted CdS thin films exist in CdS phase. Nair et al [48] used nanostructure CdS thin films for fabricating homojunction CdS solar cells. The CBDeCdS thin films are used for window and buffer layers in the solar cells [49e57] and thin film transistors [58].…”

Evolution of nanostructure, phase transition and band gap tailoring in oxidized Cu thin films

“…Nanostructured semiconductors have been of special interest to scientific community due to the immense possibilities the phenomenon of quantum confinement of charge carriers has opened up for tuning their electrical and optical properties. Several semiconductors have been synthesized in the form of quantum dots and also in the form of thin films, and the various properties exhibited by them have been studied in comparison with those of their bulk counterparts [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Nanostructured films with morphological features in the nanometer range and structured assemblies of nanometer sized particles are remarkable sets of nanomaterials with enormous technological potential.…”
