Abstract

In this study, some physical effects of bath temperature on electrodeposited cadmium oxide thin films were researched. The bath temperatures were chosen as to be 60, 70 and 80 °C. Structural analysis was investigated by using XRD patterns and it exposes that all films were formed in cubic structure. Optical and surface properties of the cadmium oxide thin films were determined by using absorbance measurements and SEM images respectively. It is understood from the optical properties that the energy band gap of the films were related strongly to bath temperature.
