Abstract
Thin films of SnS and YS1.71-1.76 have been prepared at room temperatu re by electrodeposition method and the preparative parameters such as concentration, composition and complexing agent were optimized. The fi lms were characterized by XRD, SEM and optical absorption techniques. The deposition potentials were found to be substrate, complexing agent and concentration dependent. Optical absorption studies showed that t he SnS film has indirect gap of 1.41 eV while YS1.71-1.76 film has dir ect gap of 1.85 eV.
