Fabrication of Pbx S1-x detector and studying the effect of x content on its some physical properties

الملخص EN

A polycrystalline PbxS1-x alloys with various Pb content (0.54 and 0.55) has been prepared successfully.

The structure and composition of alloys are determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) respectively.

The X-ray diffraction results shows that the structure is polycrystalline with cubic structure, and there are strong peaks at the direction (200) and (111), the grain size varies between 20 and 82 nm.

From AAS and XRF result, the concentrations of Pb content for these alloys were determined.

The results show high accuracy and very close to the theoretical values.

A photoconductive detector as a bulk has been fabricated by taking pieces of prepared alloys and polished chemically, etching, and annealing at special condition.

photoconductive properties of these detectors were measured.
