Abstract:
Cadmium oxide (CdO) and yttrium (Y) doped CdO (Y: CdO) thin films have been prepared onto glass substrate at temperature 300 °C by spray pyrolysis technique. The effects of yttrium (Y) doping on the structural, morphology, optical and electrical properties were studied systematically. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) study confirms that CdO films are polycrystalline in nature with cubic structure having lattice parameter of 0.4658 nm. Surface topographic and nano-structural analysis indicates cluster grain size and porosity decreased substantially with increase of yttrium (Y) content in CdO films. The optical transmittance exhibits excellent optical transparency, with an average transmittance of >70% in the visible range for 2 to 4% yttrium (Y) doping. The optical band gap widens in Y: CdO film from 2.24 to 2.62 eV through Burstein- Moss shift. Hall measurement confirms that material is of n type with a minimum resistivity of 4.7 × 10-4 Ω-cm with carrier concentration of 4.2 × 1021 cm-3 were achieved for 2% yttrium (Y) doping.

Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.
