Abstract
Polycrystalline thin films of Cd1-xZnxTe (x=0.0 to 0.5) deposited by c o-evaporation of CdTe and ZnTe in a vacuum better than 5x10(-6) Ton on Coming 7059 glass substrates maintained at 300 degrees C and subseque ntly annealed in vacuum at 400 degrees C for 1 h were found to be sing le-phase and nearly stoichiometric. The structural, electrical and opt ical properties of these films were studied. The lattice parameter and the optical energy gap in relation to the composition were estimated and the results are discussed in detail.
