Abstract: | Zinc telluride thin films with different thicknesses have been deposited by electron beam gun evaporation system onto glass substrates at room temperature. X-ray and electron diffraction techniques have been employed to determine the crystal structure and the particle size of the deposited films. The stoichiometry of the deposited films was confirmed by means of energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. The optical transmission and reflection spectrum of the deposited films have been recorded in the wavelength optical range 450-2500 nm. The variation of the optical parameters, i.e. refractive index, n, extinction coefficient, k, with thickness of the deposited films has been investigated. The refractive index dispersion in the transmission and low absorption region is adequately described by the single-oscillator model, whereby the values of the oscillator strength, oscillator position, dispersion parameter as well as the high-frequency dielectric constant were calculated for different film thickness. Graphical representations of the surface and volume energy loss function were also presented. |
