Cadmium telluride films were deposited from a CdTe target using rf planar magnetron system on CdS/ITO/Glass substrates. The as grown films were polycrystalline and consisted of closepacked array of preferentially oriented single crystal grains. Chemical heat treatment using cadmium chloride was...

Molybdenum thin films were sputter deposited under different conditions of DC power and chamber pressure. The structure and topography of the films were investigated using AFM, SEM and XRD techniques. Van der Pauw method and tape test were employed to determine electrical resistivity and...

This study describes the performance of selective coatings to have maximum solar absorptance and minimum thermal emittance, in relation to substrate preparation. Aluminium and copper substrates, covered with sputtered or electroplated metal base layer, have been used to see the influence of...
