摘要
Nanocrystalline cuprous oxide (Cu(2)O) thin films were synthesized on amorphous glass substrate by using simple room temperature chemical route namely, chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The deposition kinetics played important role to get good quality nanocrystalline films with uniform thickness. The structural, surface morphological, optical and electrical properties of the films were investigated. Crystallization and growth processes obtained micro-spherical shaped grains of Cu(2)O due to agglomeration of smaller nanoparticles. An optical and electrical characterization was performed to study the optical band gap and type of electrical conductivity of the film. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
