Abstract

Copper bismuth sulphide thin films have been prepared onto well cleaned glass substrates by chemical deposition method using copper nitrate, bismuth nitrate, sodium thiosulphate and EDTA as complexing agent. Studies of Hall effect show that the carrier concentration (n) decreases while Hall mobility (μ) increases with the increase of bath temperature and deposition time period..

Keywords

Copper Bismuth sulphide, Chemical bath deposition, Carrier concentration, Mobility, Hall coefficient.
