Lead Iodide Thin Films Grown Using N.N-Dimethylformamide as Solvent
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Spray pyrolysis was used for the deposition of lead iodide (PbI2) thin films using N.N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as an alternative solvent under varying deposition parameters. Final thickness of 60 μm was obtained for a total deposition time of 2.5 hours. The films were characterized mainly by using Raman and photoluminescence, but additional techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and dark conductivity as a function of temperature were also employed. Thick PbI2 films deposited by spray pyrolysis using DMF as a solvent are promising to be used in medical systems as X-ray imaging.
