Effect of surface structure on photosensitivity in chemically deposited PbS thin films

Optical and structural properties of lead sulphide (PbS) thin films synthesized by chemical method

“…All the samples show high reflectance in the visible region which rapidly decreased in the near infrared region. This high reflectance and absorbance in the visible region make the thin film good material for anti-reflection coating and also for solar thermal applications, the films can be employed as a solar control coating, also applied in infrared (IR) detectors (Castillo et al, 2014;Abbas et al, 2011;Jana et al, 2008;Larramendi et al, 2001). Figure 3c shows the transmittance spectra of PbS thin films at different dip times.…”

Quantum Effects of Non-Ballistic Transport in Films Based on Compound PbSnAgTe

“…Lead telluride is a well-known material for sources and detectors of infrared radiation in the optical spectrum [1,2]. Semiconductor materials such as PbTe are also suitable for studying non-ballistic effects.…”

Synthesis of polymer–PbS nanocomposite by solar irradiation-induced thermolysis process and its photovoltaic applications

“…Many methods have been developed to synthesise PbS thin films, including vacuum deposition [12], electrochemical deposition [13], chemical bath deposition (CBD) [14,15], pulsed laser deposition [16], sonochemical [17], spray pyrolysis [18] and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method [19]. PbS nanowires and nanorods dispersed in mesoporous silica [20] and polymer films [21] have been prepared through templates and surfactants.…”
