| Abstract: | In this study, we report an application of facile and low-cost successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method to investigate nanostructured CdO films. We have tried to enhance some physical properties of nanostructured CdO films by group-I (K, Li and Na) elements doping. The crystal structures, morphology, absorption, transmittance, reflectance behaviour and optical band gap values of CdO films were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy techniques. XRD analysis reveals formation of CdO cubic crystalline structure. From these characterizations, it was seen that there are important distinctions in the structural, morphological and optical properties of undoped and K-, Li- and Na-doped nanostructured CdO films. |
