Thickness dependent studies of colloidally grown p-type Na-doped ZnS nano-crystalline films for ambipolar and optronic applications
Sodium-doped Zinc Sulfide (Na:ZnS) nano-crystalline films of varied thicknesses were successfully grown on silica substrates via a colloid-based growth technique. Film thickness was controlled by adjusting the number of coats (3–6). The obtained Na:ZnS films exhibited hole-dominated conductivity, demonstrating potential for ambipolar and optronics applications. X-ray diffraction confirmed a multicrystalline cubic sphalerite phase, while SEM imaging revealed randomly oriented spherical grains with increased compactness at higher thicknesses. UV–Vis spectroscopy indicated a redshift in the band gap with increasing thickness, and PL spectra showed 480 nm emission peak attributed to Na-induced defect levels. Electrical measurements revealed resistivity, charge carrier density and mobility in the range of (1.91–7.54) × 102 Ω·cm, (1.02–2.70) × 1015 cm−3 and (8.2–12.1) cm2/V·s, respectively. Notably, the Na:ZnS-6 film exhibited the lowest resistivity 1.91 × 102 (Ω·cm), the highest conductivity of 5.23 × 10−3 (Ω−1·cm−1), and mobility of 12.1 (cm2/V·s).
