Abstract

Zinc phosphide (Zn3P2) was synthesized by applying two different methods. Polycrystalline Zn3P2 obtained was used as a source for vacuum termal evaporation. Structural analysis of thin films revealed that they are amorphous. Both refractive index and optical absorption coefficient of amorphous Zn3P2 thin films as a function of incident photon energy have been calculated by computer fitting of measured optical data to the theoretical expressions. The optical gap of the amorphous Zn3P2 films is determined to be equal to 1.45 eV.
