Abstract

This research work consists of the ultrasonically synthesized Cu0.4Sn0.6Se nanoparticles and comprehensive photoresponse investigation of these nanoparticles-based thin film. The chemical composition, lateral morphology, phase structure and band-gap measurements were established by means of EDAX-Elemental Mapping, TEM-SAED, powder XRD and UV-DRS-PL measurements, respectively. The average size of the nanoparticles is determined by particle size analysis. Cu0.4Sn0.6Se ternary alloy nanoparticles-based photodetector is designed. The photoconducting behaviour is investigated under periodic 532 nm lase illumination of power intensity 10 mW/cm2. The device unveiled good photo-responsivity, specific detectivity and fast response. Rise time of 1.3 s and decay time of 2.0 s were reported with excellent photo-responsivity of 13.55 mA/W, detectivity of 1.98 × 1010 Jones and EQE of 2.50% for 1.5 V. The results demonstrated that Cu0.4Sn0.6Se nanoparticles possessed excellent optoelectronic properties and have potential applications for future optoelectronic devices.
