Abstract

Polycrystalline films of PbS:Fe are obtained via hydrochemical deposition from an ammonia-citrate bath containing 10−5 to 7 × 10−3 M of FeCl2 doping additive. The films’ morphology is studied along with their structural and optical properties. An increase in the lattice parameter of PbS doped up to 5 × 10‒3 M testifies to the interstitial position of Fe2+ ions, while a subsequent reduction in the lattice parameter is due to some of the lead ions in the PbS crystal lattice being replaced with iron ions of a smaller radius. Doping with iron ions produces impurity absorption bands in the optical absorption spectra of PbS:Fe films. Rearrangement of the zone structure of lead sulfide near the edge of the band gap is observed in a film obtained from a solution containing 5 × 10−3 M FeCl2. The change in the zone structure is due to the lead ions in the PbS lattice being replaced with iron ions.
