| Abstract: | Cadmium sulphide
film has been prepared in open-air atmosphere by sintering technique-using ZnCl2
as an adhesive source and glycol as a binder. The reflection spectra of covered
sintered film of CdS are recorded by a spectrophotometer at room temperature in
the wavelength range 300-700 nm. From reflection spectra, energy band gap has
been determined. It is found that energy band gap of this film is 2.57 eV,
which is the energy band gap of Cd0.8Zn0.2S. This is
suggestive of the fact that Cd0.8Zn0.2S is a wide band
gap semiconducting material. X-ray diffraction patterns also confirm the
formation of Cd0.8Zn0.2S. |
