Summary: A comparative study on the photodetection properties of CdS thin films deposited at different cadmium chloride concentrations revealed that the increased cadmium salt concentration led to changes in crystal phase, film thickness, and photosensitivity. The photosensitivity strongly depends on factors such as film thickness, quantum confinement effect, and sulfur vacancy amount in samples grown via the CBD method.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of bismuth (Bi) doping on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of ZnO nanorods. Bi is successfully incorporated into the ZnO lattice, enhancing the growth-rate and causing a blueshift in the optical band gap. The fabricated Schottky diodes show improved rectification behavior after Bi doping, with the best device obtained at 3 at.% Bi.

Summary: P-doped nc-SiOxCy:H films were grown at moderate conditions, showing the systematic formation of Si-C and Si-O-C bonds with the increase in CH4 flow rate. XPS studies confirmed the presence of Si-O-C bonds and P atoms as dopants in the network, while the optical band gap was enhanced by the addition of stronger Si-C bonds and quantum confinement effect from reduced nanocrystal size. The optimal n-type nc-SiOxCy:H film exhibited promising properties for use in all-Si tandem solar cells.

Summary: The influence of europium on the structure and luminescent properties of CaWO4 thin films was investigated, and the sputtering yields of different compounds were studied. The results showed that the compositions of the deposits matched those of the targets, and the lattice constants increased under certain conditions. The preferential growth along a specific crystal plane also increased due to the substitution of Ca2+ with Eu2+. Doping of Eu led to improved photoluminescence performance of the films.

Summary: In this study, nanocolumnar-shaped Mn-doped ZnO films were prepared using a simple and scalable two-step chemical bath deposition technique. The optical properties of these films were investigated and it was found that they exhibit low reflectance over the entire visible spectrum, making them excellent candidates for antireflection coatings. Furthermore, the inverse hexagonal pyramidal-shaped Mn:ZnO films with antireflection and photon-trapping properties have great potential for integration into nanoscale devices, especially thin-film solar cells.
