Abstract

Thermally processed lead iodide (PbI~2~) thin films were prepared by the vacuum evaporation method in a constant ambient. Measured thickness of the film was verified analytically from the optical transmittance data in a wavelength range between 300 and 1600 nm. From the Tauc relation for the non‐direct inter band transition, the optical band gap of the film was found to be 2.58 eV for film thickness 300 nm. X‐ray diffraction analysis confirmed that PbI~2~ films are polycrystalline, having hexagonal structure. The low fluctuation in Urbach energy indicates that the grain size is quite small. The present findings are in agreement with the other results. (Β© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

A parameter set was found which allows depositing ZnSe thin films with good properties to be used as buffer layer in solar cells with ZnO/ZnSe/CIGS structure. In this way, the ZnSe compound could be used in substitution of the CdS which is a toxic material generally used as buffer layer in Cu(In,Ga)

## Abstract CdSe films have been deposited on glass substrates at different substrate temperatures between room temperature and 300 Β°C. The films exhibited hexagonal structure with preferential orientation in the (002) direction. The crystallinity improved and the grain size increased with temperat
