Abstract: | In this study, the CdS nanocrystalline thin films obtained from an ammonia-free chemical bath deposition process. The crystallites with a size range of 10–20 nm in diameter with zinc blend (cubic) and wurtzite (hexagonal) crystal structure and strong photoluminescence were prepared from the mixture solutions of: cadmium chloride dihydrate as a cadmium source, thiourea as a sulfur source and sodium citrate dihydrate as a complexing agent for cadmium ions. The well-cleaned glass used as a substrate for thin films deposition. The obtained samples were characterized by the techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluorescence spectroscopy. Also, the effect of two parameters such as pH and temperature of reaction on the synthesis of CdS nanocrystals was studied. Finally, it was found the CdS nanocrystals showed sharp excitation features and strong “band-edge” emission. |
