Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

Pure and palladium (Pd)-doped cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films were deposited on glass substrate by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) process with different doping concentrations. X-ray diffraction results confirmed the crystalline and hexagonal phase structure of prepared samples. The increase in the main diffraction peak (002) intensity with increasing Pd concentration revealed the substitution of Pd+2 with Cd+2 in the lattice. The crystallite size increased from 58.32 to 89.71 nm with Pd concentration. Morphology of the thin films shown that the average grain size increases by the agglomeration of nano-grains which become cluster of particles after Pd+2 incorporation. The energy bandgap of the CdS thin films is decreased from 2.44 to 2.37 eV with increasing Pd percentage. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra described that the pure and Pd-doped thin films show a broad PL emission peak associated to the transition of sulfur ion vacancy transfers to the valence band. Moreover, the Pd doping improved the film photostability as well as the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB).
