    Structural, electrical and optical properties of stoichiometric In2Te3 thin films
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2017) Vallem, V.; Bangera, K.V.; Shivakumar, G.K.
    In2Te3 thin films were grown by thermal evaporation technique. The annealing of films played a major role to obtain stoichiometry, regardless of substrate temperature. Annealing at 300 ?C resulted in well oriented, mono-phased and nearly stoichiometric In2Te3 thin films. The variation in grain size of In2Te3 films associated with the substrate temperatures provides a significant control over the resistivity of the films, and the resistivity decreased with an increase in the grain size. The activation energy and optical band gap of stoichiometric In2Te3 films were found to be 0.01±0.005 eV and 0.99±0.02 eV, respectively. The absorption co-efficient of these films was found to be of the order of 105 cm?1. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

    Synthesis of single-phase stoichiometric InTe thin films for opto-electronic applications
    (Academic Press, 2019) Vallem, V.; Bangera, K.V.; G.k, S.
    Mono-phased and stoichiometric InTe thin films were successfully prepared using vacuum evaporation technique. A systematic variation in substrate temperature and annealing temperature along with annealing duration resulted stoichiometric and single phase InTe films. The annealing treatment of as-deposited films resulted in the structural transformation from mixed phase of In 2 Te 3 and InTe to mono-phased InTe. The electrical conductivity of stoichiometric single phase films was found to be 15.612 ? ?1 cm ?1 . The optical band gap of stoichiometric InTe films was found to be 1.42 eV and absorption coefficient of the films was of the order of 10 6 cm ?1 . Electrical properties of mono-phased films accompanied with optical properties such as direct band gap and absorption coefficient makes them suitable for optoelectronic devices. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
