چکیده
In recent years, researchers have focused on cadmium oxide (CdO) due to its applications, specifically in the field of optoelectronic devices such as solar cells [2-3], photo transistors [4] and diodes [5], transparent electrodes [6], gas sensors [7], etc. These applications of CdO are based on its specific optical and electrical properties. For example, CdO films show a high transparency in the visible region of the solar spectrum, as well as a high ohmic conductivity. The intensity of optical and electrical effects of CdO depends on the deviations from the ideal CdO stoichiometry, as well as on the size and shape of the particles [8]. Bulk CdO is an n-type broad band gap (2.3 eV) semiconductor, with an indirect band gap of 1.36 eV [9].
