Inorganic Ternary Thin films: Anaysis of Optical Properties (eBook)

Thin films can be used to fabricate optoelectronic devices. Technology is currently focusing on ternary thin film composition because of their structure, inter-band transitions and other optical properties that can be maximized. This book discusses in detail the optical characteristics of ternary thin films and further investigates the behavior of Iron Zinc Sulphide, Lead Silver Sulphide, Copper Silver Sulphide, Copper Zinc Sulphide and Cadmium Zinc Sulphide. Thin films are of fundamental importance in modern technology.

Cliff Orori Mosiori was born in Bong'onta Location, Kisii County, Kenya in 17 May 1973, to Kisii parents, Mr and Mrs. Mosiori Maigo Ontiri and Ebisiba Nyaboke Mosiorigrew up at Bong'onta Sub-location, Kisii County and currently lives in Nakuru town, Nakuru County from 2005. For eleven years he taught at St. Pauls Nyacheki high school in Nyamache District, Kisii county and later at Menengai Hill Secondary School, Nakuru North district before joining Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology (RVIST) as a senior lecturer in Electronics and Elctronic Engineering. He also serves as a visiting lecturer to Kenyatta University at the Department of Physics, Nairobi and Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kakamega County, Kenya. His first book entitled,""Characterization of CdZn and PbS thin films for Photovoltaics," was first published in 2013 by Lambart Academic Publishing, Germany. In 2014, he published other books entitled as follows "Electrical and Optical Characterization of Cdxzn1-XS and PBS Thin Films for Photovoltaic Applications"; " Digital Electronics"; "Optical Coating"; "Physics of Thermal Phenomena"; "Thin Film Device Physics For Solar Cell Applications: The Basics of Solar Cells"; with Lambart Academic Publishing, Germany. "An Insight Into Teacher Education Program in Kenya Before the Devolved Government Structure" and "Fabrication of a Solar Cell from Thin Films Using Solution Techinique" with Grinn Academic Publiching Company. In 2015, he has also published a book with Anchor Academic Publishing Company in Germany entitled "Inorganic Ternary Thin films Anaysis of Optical Properties" and he is currently about to submitt another book on thin films. He is specialised in Solid State Physics specifically materials for thin films fabrication, analysis and characterization for optical devices and a consultant in thin films materials for solar energy.
