Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract—

Polycrystalline Cd1 – xZnxS (0 < x ≤ 0.042) films with the wurtzite structure have been grown on tin dioxide by electrochemical deposition from an aqueous Na2SO3 + ZnSO4 + CdSO4 solution. We have studied optical absorption and cathodoluminescence spectra of the films. The 298-K optical band gap of the Cd1 – xZnxS films has been determined as a function of x.
