Abstract
Sol–gel spin coating technique is used to prepare nanostructured CdS deposited on glass and quartz substrates with Cd:S 1.2:0.1 mol/L, 1000 rpm spin coating speed at 400 °C and 800 °C annealing temperatures, respectively. The effect of hydrothermal treatment on physical properties of crystalline size and morphology is reported. Structural, topographical and optical properties are investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV–visible spectrophotometer (UV) and photoluminescence (PL). The optical properties are investigated experimentally and theoretically to verify the suitable model for electro-optical systems. Our results are in agreement with experimental and theoretical data.
