The effect of microwave power on optical properties of ZnS thin films: Prepared by MA-CBD method

In this study, a rapid synthesis route, microwave-assisted chemical bath deposition (MA-CBD) method was used for the fabrication of zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin films at different powers of microwave. The effect of microwave irradiation power on optical properties, size of nanocrystalls and band gap energy of the films were investigated. The obtained band gap energies of ZnS films at 180, 360, and 540 watt of microwave power were 4.08, 4.05, and 4.02 eV, respectively. The optical transmission measurements revealed that films have more than 70% transparency in visible region.
