Abstract

CdxZn1-xSe films(0≤x≤1) were deposited for the first time by the brush plating technique at room temperature from an aqueous bath containing zinc sulphate, cadmium sulphate and selenium oxide. The deposition current density was varied in the range of 50 – 250 mA cm-2. The as deposited films exhibited cubic structure. Composition of the films was estimated by EDAX studies. Optical band gap of the films varied from 1.72 eV to 2.70 eV as the composition varied from CdSe to ZnSe side. Electrical properties of the films were determined at room temperature. The room temperature resistivity, carrier density and mobility varied in the range of 9.0 ohm cm – 200 ohm cm,10 – 2 cm2V-1s-1 and 6.94 x 1016 – 1.56 x 1016 cm-3 respectively as the composition changed from CdSe to ZnSe side.
