Systematic long-term investigation on Cu2ZnCdS4 wide band gap semiconducting materials for optics and luminescence applications

Copper Zinc Cadmium Sulfide (Cu2ZnCdS4) semiconducting material compound synthesized using a new economic beneficial route. Copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, cadmium sulfate and thiourea salt solutions were utilized for Cu2ZnCdS4 compound formation. Basic characteristics like pH value, electrical conductivity, concentration measurements were investigated for several hundred samples. Optics transmittance was investigated by UV – Vis spectrophotometer within the 350 to 950 nm range. Photo luminescence measurement was examined by using photo–fluorometer. Optic properties of Cu2ZnCdS4 compound were investigated through photo-calorimeter measurements including mixed wavelength bands. The real time investigated noteworthy results from several hundred samples are presented and discussed.
