Abstract

II–VI nanocrystalline semiconductor materails provide a wide range of applications in electronics, optoelectronics and photonics. The present paper reports the preparation of colloidal Cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles and study their optical properties. (CdSe) was produced by a chemical route procedure, with the ligand tri sodium citrate (TSC) serving as a complexing agent. Cadmium acetate is used as a Cd source, and sodium selenide is used as a Se precursor. The morphological and optical properties of the produced nanoparticles were determined using a Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Ultraviolet – Visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS).Thin films of CdSe capped with are deposited on the glass and aluminum substrates . AL/ CdSe/Ag MSM photodetectors have been fabricated and the electrical properties were measured in dark and light. The output data display that the photo currents of all diodes are increased with light. The fact that the films had dark electrical conductivity and photoconductivity indicates that they were semiconducting materials.
