Features of optical and energy properties of CdSe thin films

The paper presents the results of experimental and theoretical studies of the optical and energy properties of thin CdSe films obtained by the closed space sublimation. The synthesis method, the results of structural and optical studies of thin CdSe films deposited on the surface of a quartz substrate are presented. The quality of the films was analyzed by x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Within the framework of the pseudopotential method, the dynamics of changes in the parameters of the CdSe films electronic subsystem is theoretically studied. The direct-gap nature of the forbidden gap of the film is established. Based on the density of states, the genesis of the conduction band and the valence band is established. Using the Kramers – Kronig relation, we obtained spectra of optical dielectric functions, optical reflection, refractive and extinction indexes, which satisfactorily correlate with the obtained experimental data.
