Abstract
PbTe thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition from a Nd:YAC lase r (532 nm). The films were deposited on glass substrates. The influence of deposition temperature (80-160 degrees C), fluence (5-13 J/cm(2)) and nomin al composition of the target on the chemical composition of the films was s tudied. It was found that the tellurium content of the film is strongly dep endent on both the laser fluence and the deposition temperature. Highly tex tured stoichiometric films can be obtained with suitable conditions.
