Structural and optical properties of chemical bath deposites zinc nickel sulphide (ZnNiS) thin films

Thin films of zinc nickel sulphide (ZnNiS) were grown on glass substrates using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique at room temperature. Effects of ion concentration of NiCl2 on the film’s optical and structural properties were investigated. This was achieved by...
