Abstract
ZnTe1−x Se x films were deposited on glass substrates kept at 200 °C by the electron beam evaporation technique. These films exhibited cubic structure and the lattice parameter increased with increase of Tellurium concentration in the films which confirmed the solid solution formation. The grain size is found to increase with Te content. The dislocation density and lattice strain show a decreasing trend with increasing of Te content. Band gap values of 2.73 eV, 2.63 eV, 2.52 eV and 2.41 eV have been calculated for the films of composition ‘x’ = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8, respectively, which confirmed the formation of solid solution between ZnSe and ZnTe. Refractive index of the films increased from 2.535 to 2.826 as the concentration of Te increased. All the films showed high resistivity values. Laser Raman spectral studies of ZnTe1−x Se x revealed LO phonon frequencies whose values are located in between the LO phonon frequencies of ZnSe and ZnTe.
