Optical And Structural Properties Of Copper Aluminum Diselenide (CuAlSe2) Compound Thin Films

Abstract

A low cost chemical bath deposit fashion has been used for the medication of Bobby aluminum diselenide( CuAlSe2) thin flicks onto marketable microscope glass substrates. The values of deposit parameters were varied similar as temperature( 50- 70oC), deposit time( 12 – 60 hrs), volume of complexiing agent( 1- 9 ml) and bath pH(8.35 –10.10) to gain good quality thin flicks. The optic, structural and morphological parcels of thin flicks were studied by Jenway Software 6405 UV – VIS Spectrophotometer,X-ray minidiffractometer MD – 10 and Scanning Electron Microscopy( SEM) studies independently. The optic property revealed that CuAlSe2 flicks have energy band gaps range value at room temperature and elevated temperature as2.22 –2.58 eV and2.00 –2.14 eV independently. TheX-ray diffraction study showed that the CuAlSe2 flicks were polycrystalline in nature with the preferential exposure along the( 112) aeroplane . The Scanning Electron Microscopy results indicated that the flicks were smooth, invariant and the substrate face was covered fully at these experimental conditions.
