EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON CDO FILMS GROWTHBY ELECTRODEPOSITION

Abstract

This studyinvestigatedsome physical effects of bath temperature on electrodeposited cadmium oxidethin films. Bath temperatures in the study were 60, 70,and 80 °C. Structural analysis was investigated by using XRD patterns and the analysis revealed that all films were formed in cubic structure. Optical and surface properties of the cadmium oxidethin films were determined by using absorbance measurements and SEM images,respectively. It was understood from the optical propertiesthat the energy band gap of the films were strongly related to bath temperature.
