In the present work, we have used simple, cost effective arrested precipitation technique (APT) to deposit CdZn(SSe)2 thin films. Preparative conditions were optimized during the initial stage of experimentation to obtain good quality CdZn(SSe)2 thin films. The as-deposited film was studied for its structural, morphological, optical, and compositional analysis by XRD, SEM, UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer and EDS-analysis techniques respectively. XRD analysis revealed that the film was polycrystalline in nature and exhibit hexagonal crystal structure. The SEM micrograph shows the formation of spherical surface morphology. EDS results confirm the presence of Cd, Zn, S and Se elements in the synthesized thin film. The band gap value of thin film was calculated from the absorption spectra which is found to be 1.8 eV. From J–V measurements, photoconversion efficiency is found to be 0.07%.
Keywords: arrested precipitation technique, thin films, XRD, photoconversion efficiency.

I believe you have observed some very interesting details, regards for the post.
Nearly all of what you claim happens to be supprisingly appropriate and it makes me wonder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this with this light previously. Your piece truly did switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular topic goes. Nonetheless there is one factor I am not really too comfy with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the actual core theme of your issue, let me see what all the rest of the readers have to say.Nicely done.
Its such as you learn my mind! You seem to grasp a lot approximately this, such as you wrote the e book in it or something. I feel that you can do with a few percent to pressure the message house a little bit, but other than that, that is great blog. A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.
