Figures & Tables

Figure 1

SEM micrograph of the annealed CdWO4 film. Inset is an image with greater resolution.

Figure 2

(a) Transmission spectra of CdWO4 films; Tauc plot of (b) as-prepared and (c) annealed at 600°C CdWO4 films.

Figure 3

ATR-FTIR spectra of CdWO4 films, as-prepared and annealed at 600°C.

Figure 4

Raman spectra of CdWO4 thin films, as-prepared and annealed at 600°C.

Figure 5

X-ray diffractogram of CdWO4 thin films: as-prepared and annealed at 600°C, along with the JCPDS 14-0676 standard reference file. Multi-peak deconvolution of diffraction maxima (−1, 1, 1) and (1, 1, 1) to evaluate the FWHM of (1, 1, 1) at a 2θ angle 29.35°, to calculate the crystallite size (D) (insets).

Figure 6

PL along with the reflectance spectrum of CdWO4 thin films (excitation: 254 nm with a Hg lamp). The grey spectrum was recorded from a blank substrate (glass slide) under Hg lamp illumination.

Figure 7

Transmission spectra of the as-is and coloured CdWO4 films.
