Abstract
The fabrication of devices with lead salts and their alloys with detecting and lasing capabilities has been an important technological development. The high quality polycrystalline thin films of PbTe1−xSx with variable composition (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been deposited onto ultra clean glass substrates by vacuum evaporation technique. Optical, structural and electrical properties of PbTe1−xSx thin films have been examined. Absorption coefficient and band gap of the films were determined by absorbance measurements in wavelength range 2,500–5,000 nm using FTIR spectrophotometer. Sample nature, crystal structure and lattice parameter of the films were determined from X-ray diffraction patterns. DC conductivity and activation energy of the films were measured in temperature range 300–380 K through I–V measurements.
