Effect of Magnetic Field on Physical Properties of HgI2 Thick Films during Deposition

Abstract

A deposited layer of HgI₂ deposited on glass substrate (1.5 x 1.5 Cm²) using solution evaporation technique under the effect of magnetic field shows good properties in compare to that deposited without any effect of magnetic field. The band gap energy and type of optical transition were determined from transmission spectra, And an optical band gap of Eg =2.12 eV for direct transition was estimated. X-ray diffraction of HgI₂ to film shows a preferential orientation of peaks (002) and (101).
