摘要
A study of electrical transport in CdS thin films is reported. We have observed, for the first time, that CdS thin film conductivity obeys the Meyer-Neldel rule (MNR). This was deduced from linking the conductivity pre-exponential factor to the activation energy variation. CdS films were deposited by chemical bath deposition at different solution temperatures in order to vary the electrical activation energy of the films. A correlation between the MNR rule and the disorder in the film network is highlighted. The multi-trapping process in the band tail-localized states governs the conductivity in CdS films. This explains the MNR observation in CdS films. The variation of the electrical conductivity pre-exponential factor and activation energy are correlated to the disorder in the film network; this was explained in terms of polaron formation and phonon-electron coupling with disorder.
