Synthesizing and Studying the Crystal Structureof ZnSb thin films

Abstract

Zinc antimonide was prepared by melt-quenching method, then the pre-synthesized powder evaporated on different substrates (glass, Si (001) and KBr) at room temperature (R.T) and (473K) by using thermal evaporation technique.The ZnSb powder and thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, were we note two phases (ZnSb and Zn4Sb3) in all samples except the film that deposited on glass substrate at (R.T) which has exposed a single phase (ZnSb phase) in comparison with the other films which have a small volume fraction of Zn4Sb3 phase .
