Diagrams of the formation of In2S3 and In2Se3 films on vitroceramic upon precipitation, according to potentiometric titration

Boundary conditions and ranges of the formation of indium(III) sulfide and selenide upon precipitation by thiocarbamide and selenocarbamide are determined. Potentiometric titration of indium chloride (InCl₃) in the concentration range of 0.0001 to 0.100 mol/L by a solution of sodium hydroxide is performed. It is found that the following pH ranges are optimal for In₂S₃ and In₂Se₃ film precipitation: from 3.0 to 4.5 and from 9.0 to 14.0. Indium selenide layers 100 to 300 nm thick are prepared on vitroceramic by hydrochemcial precipitation.

Calculating the boundary conditions of the formation of solid-phase metal sulfides and selenides by deposition with thio- and selenourea

Calculation equations that allow one to determine the boundary conditions of the formation of solid-phase metal sulfides and selenides with different valences according to the decomposition constants of thio- and selenourea and the kinetic dependence of the accumulation of chalcogenide ions in the reaction system are proposed. The contribution from the crystallization factor to the determination of the boundary conditions of the formation of the solid phase is shown with allowance for the nucleation of metal chalcogenide. The calculation equations determining the boundary conditions of the formation of the main admixture phases upon the hydrochemical deposition of chalcogenides, metal hydroxide, and cyanamide are derived.     

Thermodynamic Analysis and Kinetics of Etching of Thin PbS Films in Hydrochloric Acid Solutions

A hydrochloric acid solution of hydrogen peroxide was suggested for etching lead sulfide films. The solubility of lead sulfide in relation to the hydrochloric acid concentration in the etching solution was calculated using thermodynamic analysis, taking into account the stability of lead complex species. The kinetics of hydrogen peroxide decomposition in the hydrochloric acid solution was studied, and the formal rate equation of the process was constructed.     

Simulating equilibrium processes in the Ga(NO<Subscript>3</Subscript>)<Subscript>3</Subscript>–H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O–NaOH system

Equilibrium processes in the Ga(NO₃)₃–H₂O–NaOH system are simulated with allowance for the formation of precipitates of various compositions using experimental data from potentiometric titration and theoretical studies. The values of the instability constants are calculated along with the stoichiometric compositions of the resulting compounds.

Kinetic aspects of hydrochemical deposition of cadmium sulfide from solutions with diverse ligand backgrounds

A comparative kinetic study was carried out and formal kinetic equations were derived for the chemical deposition of cadmium sulfide from aqueous solutions containing various cadmium complexes onto a glass-ceramic substrate by thiourea under conditions of spontaneous nucleation and interfacial area control. The elemental composition and morphology of the resultant films were examined, on this basis their nanostructure nature was confirmed, taking into account the data on crystallite size analysis.     

Mechanism of PbSe y S1 − y film formation in chemical deposition from aqueous solutions

The growth mechanism of PbSe _y S_{1 ? y} films has been studied upon chemical deposition from aqueous solutions using scanning probe microscopy. A comparative morphological analysis of layers deposited at the initial growth stages and the use of fractal formalism shows that the formation of films of PbS, PbSe, and PbSe _y S_{1 ? y} substitutional solid solutions involves cluster-cluster aggregation with self-organization elements.     

Kinetics of hydrochemical deposition of PbSe films in the presence of ascorbic acid

The boundary conditions of the formation of PbSe and concomitant impurity phases, Pb(OH)₂ and PbCN₂, were determined by calculation of the ionic equilibria in the Pb²⁺–Na₃C₅Н₆О₇–CH₄N₂Se system. Complex kinetic studies of the PbSe deposition from an ammonia–citrate mixture containing ascorbic acid as antioxidant for selenourea were performed. PbSe films 250 to 425 nm thick were synthesized by the hydrochemical method based on the results obtained. The absence of impurities in the deposited samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.
