Structural and Morphological Properties of Spray Deposited Lead Telluride Thin Films
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The present research work reports on the deposition of lead telluride (PbTe) thin films onto the glass substrates by economical spray pyrolysis technique at 473K. The deposited lead telluride films are nanocrystalline in nature with cubic lattice and having preferred orientation along (200) and exhibit a direct bandgap of 1.27eV. The electrical resistivity of the as-deposited films was found to be 1.80×10-2Ωcm.Thermo-emf studies confirm that the films possess n-type conductivity.
