Structural, electrical and optical investigations of Cu6PS5Br-based thin film deposited by HiTUS technique
Journal Title: Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics and Optoelectronics - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
Cu6.35P1.77S4.72Br0.15 thin film was obtained using the high target utilization sputtering onto c-cut sapphire substrates. X-ray diffraction studies show the film to be amorphous with some crystalline inclusions. SEM investigations indicate formation of periodical “forest-like” quasi-two-dimensional pillared structure. Electrical conductivity of Cu6.35P1.77S4.72Br0.15 thin film was measured in the temperature interval 4.5…300 K, three regions with different activation energy were revealed. Optical constants were obtained using the technique of spectroscopic ellipsometry and used for calculation of optical absorption spectrum. Optical absorption edge has an exponential form, the Urbach energy shows the significant disordering in Cu6.35P1.77S4.72Br0.15 thin film.

Possible method for evaluation of virus, bacteria and yeasts infectivity by optical measurements
The possible method for evaluation of virus, bacteria and yeasts infectivity based on study of their absorption spectra has been proposed. The decrease in the samples infectivity was caused by adding the CeO2 nanoparticl...
