چکیده

Closed space sublimation (CSS) technique was used to deposit pure (99.99%) zinc selenide(ZnSe) powder on to glass substrates for fabricating the ZnSe thin films. The temperatures of source, substrate andthe deposition time were optimized to deposit thin films of different thicknesses. Silver (Ag) was used as adopant by ion exchange process in the ZnSe thin films. The structural analysis showed that as-deposited ZnSe thin films were polycrystalline having preferred orientation [111] direction. Micro structural parameters such as crystallite size, lattice parameter were determined using X-rays diffraction (XRD). Grains boundaries,roughness on surface and the grain density of the thin film samples were measured by scanning electron andatomic force microscopy before and after Ag doping.As-deposited, Ag-doped ZnSe samples before and after annealing were optically characterized by spectrophotometer in ultra violet, visible and infrared regions. The energy band gap of as-deposited ZnSe thin films for varying thicknesses were ranging from 2.62-2.67 eV whichwas reduced after Ag doping.The electrical properties showed that as-deposited thin films were highly resistive of the order of 108 -cm and after Ag immersion, it was reduced to 1 -cm. Deposition parameters and Ag doping influenced the structural, surface, optical and electrical properties

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
