Abstract

In this investigation, thin films of CdO:Zn were synthesized by using the technology of pulsed lasers. Additionally, the effect of different concentrations of Zn doping on the material's physical properties was investigated. According to XRD research, the films have a polycrystalline structure, and it was discovered that the size of the crystallites changes depending on the amount of Zn doping. The morphology of the produced films reveals that there are spherical nanoparticles distributed evenly all over the surface of the films and ranging in size from nanometer to nanometer. The increase in Zn doping concentrations resulted in an improvement of the material's optical characteristics. The results of the Hall effect observations show that each of the films possesses n-type conductivity. This property, combined with the films' low resistivity, enables them to be utilized in a wide variety of contexts. In addition to this, each of the films has a large concentration of carrier molecules.
