摘要
Here, we have discussed the electron transport phenomena through the interface formed by aluminium and hydrothermally synthesized Zinc-Cadmium-Sulphide (ZnCdS) nanocomposite. In this background, the structural, optical, and electrical characterization of the synthesized material were studied. The estimated optical band gap energy (=3.14 eV) and the room temperature conductivity (1.6 x 10(-6) S cm(-1)) of the synthesized nanomaterial motivated us to explore the metal/inorganic-semiconductor interface. The carrier transport mechanism under dark and light-illuminated conditions was analyzed by the thermionic emission theory of the metal-semiconductor junction. Significant changes in rectification ratio, barrier potential, and the ideality factor were observed under light irradiance. The effect of incident radiation on mobility-lifetime (mu tau) product and the diffusion length (L-D) was demonstrated for the device.
