Electrode Properties of Halogenide-Chalcogenide Glasses and Amorphous Thin Films Fabricated by Chemical Deposition

Resumo

Multicomponent thin halogenide-chalcogenide CuI–PbI₂–As₂Se₃, CuI–AgI–As₂Se₃, and PbI₂–AgI–As₂Se₃ films are synthesized by the chemical deposition method from halogenide-chalcogenide glass solutions in n-butylamine and the electrode properties of the glass and films are examined. It is established that the electrode properties of halogenide-chalcogenide glass and films with similar compositions are virtually the same. The similarity of the electrode parameters of halogenide-chalcogenide glass and films can be explained by the preservation of the glass polymer structure upon dissolution in n-butylamine and film deposition from the solution.
