The Department of Physics held a seminar on the preparation of cadmium sulfide films (CDS) using the thermal chemical spraying technique.
The seminar included a lecture by Assistant Lecturer Adnan Hassoun Oreibi, who mentioned that the films were prepared on base of glass and annealed at temperatures of (600,500,400) degrees Celsius.
The annealing was studied on X-ray diffraction with the study of surface topography, particle size, Hooke measurements, optical transitions, current-voltage (I-V) properties and spectral response of the photocatalyst.
The seminar concluded that the efficiency of the prepared films increases with the increase in the annealing temperature and its best value is at a temperature of 500 degrees Celsius, and that the prepared detector can be used in solar cell applications.
