K. Yamaguchi et al., ONE-STEP ELECTRODEPOSITION OF CDS ZNS BILAYER FROM AN AQUEOUS MIXTUREOF CD2+ AND ZN2+/, Journal of materials research, 13(4), 1998, pp. 917-921
Electrochemical thin film deposition in aqueous mixtures containing Cd
2+, Zn2+, and thioacetamide has been investigated. It has been found t
hat the atom-by-atom growth of well-crystallized CdS thin film prefere
ntially takes place at the early stage of the reaction, followed by th
e cluster-by-cluster growth of the poorly crystallized ZnS outer layer
, thus resulting in the formation of CdS/ZnS bilayer by a one-step syn
thesis.
