Science of Cd(Zn, S)Se Nanocrystalline Thin Films: Synthesis, and Multimodal Characterizations

Science of Cd(Zn, S)Se Nanocrystalline Thin Films: Synthesis and Multimodal Characterizations by Dr. Ganesh Tanaji Chavan presents a comprehensive study on the design, synthesis, and analysis of quaternary Cd(Zn,S)Se semiconductor thin films. Published by AkiNik Publications (2025), the book explores solution-based growth techniques for fabricating nanocrystalline thin films with tunable band gaps and enhanced optoelectronic properties. It systematically covers binary (CdSe, CdS, ZnSe, ZnS), ternary, and quaternary chalcogenide systems, highlighting their structural, optical, electrical, and photovoltaic characteristics. Emphasis is placed on reaction kinetics, compositional control, spectro-microscopic investigations, and device-oriented performance, particularly for solar energy conversion. The work addresses challenges in homogeneous phase formation and band gap engineering, positioning Cd(Zn,S)Se as a promising material for next-generation micro/nano devices and sustainable photovoltaic applications
