Abstract.
PbTe thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition from a Nd:YAG laser (532 nm). The films were deposited on glass substrates. The influence of deposition temperature (80–160 °C), fluence (5–13 J/cm2) and nominal composition of the target on the chemical composition of the films was studied. It was found that the tellurium content of the film is strongly dependent on both the laser fluence and the deposition temperature. Highly textured stoichiometric films can be obtained with suitable conditions.
