Summary:
The dynamics of changes in the structural and optical properties of chemical bath-
deposited (CBD) CdS/glass thin films in H2 annealing process in a pre-heated furnace between
200–450°C was studied systematically. Annealing imparts structural stability to the layers, but
reduces band gap (Eg). Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and visible optical spectroscopy
characterization of annealed CBD CdS/glass thin films are presented. We propose a hypothesis
about substitutional incorporation of OH group on S site in CdS lattice in the deposition process and its responsibility for changes in the optical and structural properties of CdS in the annealing process. Cubic CdS is a stable and prevalent phase in CBD CdS at 450°C.

Annealing imparts structural stability to the layers, but reduces band gap (Eg). Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and visible optical spectroscopy characterization of annealed CBD CdS/glass thin films are presented. We propose a hypothesis about substitutional incorporation of OH group on S site in CdS lattice in the deposition process and its responsibility for changes in the optical and structural properties of CdS in the annealing process. Cubic CdS is a stable and prevalent phase in CBD CdS at 450°C. </dc:description> <dc:source>Moldavian Journal of the Physical Sciences 9 (3-4) 275-279</dc:source> <dc:title>Structural changes in chemically deposited CdS: effect of thermal annealing</dc:title> <dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type> </oai_dc:dc>
