Tailoring structural and optical properties of CdSe thin films deposited with nominal Tb³⁺ precursor concentrations (0–10 mol%) via chemical bath deposition

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by chemical bath deposition using nominal Tb³ ⁺ precursor concentrations of 0 –10 mol% at 80 °C. The influence of increasing Tb precursor concentration on the structural, morphological, and optical properties o...
