Abstract
CoS2 thin films on PA 6 sheets were successfully formed by a two-step adsorption-diffusion method. A solution of pentathionate acid and a solution of Co(II) in complex form were used as a source for the formation of cobalt sulfide films. It has been established that increasing the duration of the first stage of the process, as well as increasing the temperature of the Co(II) precursor solution, plays a decisive role on the surface quality and positive physical properties of the resulting CoS2 films. The surface morphology, physical properties and elemental composition of the obtained CoS2 films have been investigated by means of XRD, SEM/EDS, ICP-OES and AFM. The formed CoS2 thin films exhibit a broad absorption edge with a high absorption coefficient (α ≈ 104 cm−1). UV–Vis studies of films have revealed a significant influence of film formation conditions on the values of their optical band gap.
期刊介绍:
Current Applied Physics (Curr. Appl. Phys.) is a monthly published international journal covering all the fields of applied science investigating the physics of the advanced materials for future applications.
Other areas covered: Experimental and theoretical aspects of advanced materials and devices dealing with synthesis or structural chemistry, physical and electronic properties, photonics, engineering applications, and uniquely pertinent measurement or analytical techniques.
Current Applied Physics, published since 2001, covers physics, chemistry and materials science, including bio-materials, with their engineering aspects. It is a truly interdisciplinary journal opening a forum for scientists of all related fields, a unique point of the journal discriminating it from other worldwide and/or Pacific Rim applied physics journals.
Regular research papers, letters and review articles with contents meeting the scope of the journal will be considered for publication after peer review.
The Journal is owned by the Korean Physical Society.
