Abstract

Tin selenide (SnSe) thin films were deposited onto indium doped tin oxide coated (ITO) glass substrates by electro deposition technique. The deposition bath contains a solution mixture consisting SnCl2 and Na 2SeO3. X-ray diffraction studies revealed orthorhombic structure of SnSe films and various micro structural parameters such as crystallite size, dislocation density and strain were calculated. Optical properties were determined by UV-vis-NIR double beam spectrophotometer and direct transition energy band gap was estimated as 1.1 eV. Morphological studies reveal nano rod shaped grains covering the surface of the film and the results are discussed.
