Structural and morphological properties of spray deposited CdO thin films

M. A. Barote

Abstract :

The objective of this work is to study the influence of deposition temperature on structural and surface morphological properties of the CdO thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. These films were characterized for the structural and morphological properties by means of X–ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As deposited CdO films are polycrystalline with (111) preferential orientation. The information on crystallite size, microstrain and dislocation density is obtained from the full width–at half– maximum (FWHM) of the diffraction peaks. Texture coefficient and lattice constant have been calculated. The surface morphology of the films has been analyzed.
