The growth of the first group of the fihns (Set 1: P(9)) & P(14)) was based on the decomposition of lead citrate and sodium selenosulphite in the presence of sodium citrate and sodium hydroxide with ammonia and triethalamine (TEA) acting as the complexing agents and P.H stabilizers; while in the second group (Set 2: Pc15~), the reaction bath was made up of solutions of lead nitrate Pb(NO3)2, PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), H20 (distilled water), NH3 (ammonia), sodium selenosulphite (Na2SeSO3) and Triethalamine [N(CH2CH2OH)], which was used as the complexing agent. The deposited materials were identified by X-ray diffraction. In addition, nano optical and morphological investigations were also performed. The sample P9 has the lowest absorbance of about 0.3 nm in the ultra-violet region. It was found that there was a reduction in the optical absorbance as the wavelength increases. The optical band gap shows a range of 1.26-2.00 eV with sample PcIs~ having the lowest direct band gap.展开更多
