摘要
Tl2S thin films (0.95 mum-1 mum) were deposited from chemical bath containing thallium nitrate and thiourea. These films possess an indirect optical band gap of about 1 eV. Multi-layer films: Tl2S-CuS, Tl2S-Bi2S3 and Tl2S-Sb2S3 films were prepared, which when annealed at 300 degreesC led to the formation of CuTlS2 (tetragonal, E-g,E-dir = 1.25 eV), Bi2Tl4S5 (orthorhombic, E-g,E-dir = 2.05 eV), TlSbS2. (triclinic, E-g,E-dir 1.92 eV), as confirmed by XRD. Optical band gap of 1.4 eV - 2 eV suggests possible application as absorber materials in solar cells.
