Abstract
The Cadmium Oxide (CdO) transparent nanostructure semiconducting film is deposited on glass substrates by spray pyrolysis method at 250ºC. The structural and optical properties of the growth films are presented. The crystalline structure was studied by X-ray diffraction. The direct band gap of CdO nanofilm was found to be 3.4eV, comparing with that of the bulk CdO.
Keywords: CdO nanostructure, spray pyrolsis, XRD, optical properties
