Thickness dependent physical properties of close space evaporated In2S3 films

Effects of Al content on physical properties of ZnS thin films prepared by chemical bath deposition

“…9) reduces to zero when the wavelength is larger than 365 nm. This behavior is in good agreement with that reported in the literature [33].…”

Thickness dependence of structural and optical properties of cadmium iodide thin films

“…The observed increase in refractive index with increasing film thickness may be attributed to the increase in density of the films and the increase in crystallite size. The increase in refractive index with increasing film thickness is in a good agreement with the previously reported results [8,14,26,27] …”

Effect of thermal annealing on physical properties of vacuum evaporated In2S3 buffer layer for eco-friendly photovoltaic applications

“…The β-In 2 S 3 is found in most stable form at temperature below 673 K with tetragonal structure and a non toxic compound as well as exhibits n-type electrical conductivity. The internal strain affects the crystal structure of In 2 S 3 thin films due to thermal expansion mismatch between film and substrate surface, variation in inter-atomic spacing and recrystallization processes [8][9][10][11]. It has potential applications to manufacture the picture tubes of color television and fabrication of green as well as red phosphors [12].…”

“…The In 2 S 3 thin films can be used as window and buffer layers in heterojunction solar cells due to wide optical energy band gap and eliminating the toxicity of cadmium. So, In 2 S 3 films is a most promising replacement for cadmium sulfide in Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) based photovoltaic cells and optical buffer layer in solar cells such as In 2 S 3 /CuInX 2 (S, Se) because it prevents health risks to operators and also decreases environmental pollution [2,10,13].…”
