Abstract

A recent vacuum deposition method using the topotaxial reaction of Ag and Se allowed us preparation of both epitaxial and polycrystalline Ag2Se layers on NaCl and silica substrates. Low temperature and reproducibility of Ag2Se layers facilitate investigation of this ionic semiconductor. The formation and the reversible phase transition (orthorhombic - cubic) of Ag2Se films are revealed by transmission electron microscopy. Galvanomagnetic properties of 87 nm thick layers with different carrier concentrations were investigated in the temperature range of 77 - 430 K. Properties of poly- and monocrystalline samples are compared. Influence of the phase transformation on the electrical properties are shown.
