Abstract
Amorphous CuInTe thin films were prepared by the flash evaporation of CuInTe powder onto substrates held at liquid nitrogen temperature. The amorphous nature of the films was confirmed by TEM studies. Compositional analysis was carried out using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Amorphous to crystalline studies made on the films showed them to crystallize at a about a temperature of 145°C. Optical absorption studies yielded an optical gap of 1.30 ± 0.01 eV.
