Abstract We report the room temperature synthesis of zinc selenide (ZnSe) nano crystalline thin film on quartz by using a relatively simple and low cost closed space sublimation process (CSSP). The compatibility of the prepared thin films for optoelectronic applications was assessed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD confirmed that the films were polycrystalline with the preferential orientation along the (111) plane corresponding to the cubic phase (2θ = 27.28°). The AFM indicated that the ZnSe film presented a smooth and compact morphology with RMS roughness 19.86 nm. The longitudinal optical phonon modes were observed at 247 cm-1 and 490 cm-1 attributed to the cubic structured ZnSe. The Zn-Se stretching band was confirmed by the FT-IR. The microstructure and compositional analysis was made with the SEM. The grain size, dislocation density, and strain calculated were co-related. All these properties manifested a good quality, high stability, finely adhesive, and closely packed structured ZnSe thin film for optoelectronic applications.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
