Structural, optical and electrical characteristics of sulfur incorporated ZnSe thin films

In the present study, polycrystalline materials of ZnSe1-xSx (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1) were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. Thin films of ZnSe1-xSx of about 1 μm have been produced using evaporation method. The importance of ZnSe1-xSx compound is the tunability of band g...
