| Abstract | In this work, ZnS:Cu thin films were synthetized by RF magnetron co-sputtering using ceramic ZnS and metallic Cu targets. The power applied to Cu target was changed to vary the Cu content in the films while other experimental parameters remain constant. Whatever the copper content, only the hexagonal ZnS phase was detected by X-ray diffraction and the films are oriented along the c-axis. For films with a Cu content higher than 10.6 at%, the a and c lattice parameters of the crystal cell decrease leading to a shrinkage of the ZnS:Cu cell. Changes in the microstructural, optical and electronic properties of the films are also observed. Regarding the optical properties, the energy bandgap determined by optical absorption decreases with the Cu content. Moreover, an absorption in the near infrared region appears probably due to a plasmon resonance coming from an increase of the holes carrier concentration. From electrical measurements it was found that above a copper concentration of 10 at%, the films are conductive and exhibit a p-type behavior. These results were discussed taking into account the substitution of Zn atoms by Cu ones. Finally, electron energy loss spectrometry measurements clearly showed that copper atoms are present in the ZnS lattice with an oxidation state of +I. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
