- Abstract
CdO and ZnCdO alloy semiconductor nanostructures were obtained by means of cathodic deposition. Crystalline nanostructures of CdO and cadmium doped ZnO with cadmium concentration ranging from about 25% to 75% were electrodeposited onto the tin doped indium oxide (ITO) conducting glass substrates and subsequently annealed in air at 300°C and 600°C, respectively. X-ray diffraction showed that the nanostructures were of cubic crystallographic structure for CdO and at low doping concentration it showed wurtzite structure. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results demonstrated that Cd, Zn and O elements existed in the deposited nanostructures. The incorporation of Cd content in the ZnO resulted in the band gap tuning of about 0.94 eV.
