Thin films of Zinc sulfide (ZnS) have been prepared on glass substrates by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique. The preparative parameters and spectroscopic properties of deposited films were investigated for the photovoltaic applications. The physical conditions were kept identical while growing all the samples. The as–deposited ZnS films were characterized by XRD, SEM and Spectrophotometer. All the films have pure cubic (Zinc-blende) structure. The grain size of ZnS films has been found to be in the range of 3.5 to 4.6 nm as the thickness changes from 63 nm to 124 nm. The films have 65-80% transmittance, 8-15% absorbance and ~4% reflectance towards the VIS-Near IR region. The band gap varies in between 3.52 eV to 3.78 eV..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
