Controlling the phase composition of cadmium sulfide films during pulsed laser deposition

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Thin cadmium sulfide films grown by pulsed laser deposition on crystalline and amorphous substrates have been shown to consist of a mixture of a cubic (sphalerite structure) and a hexagonal (wurtzite structure) phase. We have demonstrated the possibility of controlling the percentages of the hexagonal and cubic phases in cadmium sulfide films by varying pulsed laser deposition parameters. Varying the deposition parameters allows one to control the optical and structural parameters and surface morphology of thin cadmium sulfide films.
