Abstract
In this research, Zn1-xCdxSe alloys (x from 0 to 1) were synthesized by solid-state microwave (SSM) method of producing thermally evaporated thin films. The cubic structure and the elemental ratios of the films were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The optical characterizations of the as-deposited film in terms of the energy band gap (Eg), photoluminescence (PL), and Raman shift spectra were conducted at the room temperature. The Eg values for the thin films from ZnSe to CdSe were 3.4 to 1.7 eV, respectively. The PL orange emission for ZnSe thin film at 565 nm, whereas 590 nm in the yellow region for CdSe thin film. From Raman shift spectra, the two longitudinal-optical phonon modes (1LO and 2LO) at 240, and 490 cm-1 are assigned for the ZnSe and CdSe thin films.
