Abstract

Undoped and Mn-doped CdS films, CdSe films and CdS:Mn/CdSe heterostructures were deposited by chemical techniques. Undoped and Mn-doped CdS films were grown onto flexible PET/ITO substrates by chemical bath deposition at different temperatures. CdSe thin films were synthesized following a two stages process. In the first stage, CdO2 precursor films, were synthesized by chemical bath deposition at different deposition time. In the second stage, the CdO2 precursor films were transformed into CdSe films by immersion in a Se ionic solution. CdS, CdS:Mn, CdSe and CdS/CdSe samples were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis, Raman and room temperature photoluminescence spectroscopies. The structural characterization indicates that CdS and CdSe films with hexagonal phase were obtained. CdSe films showed the LO Raman mode with three order phonon replicas, an indication of the excellent crystalline quality of the samples.
