	abstract = {Composite materials based on III-VI elements are promising in designing efficient photoelectronic devices, such as thin film org.-inorg. solar cells.  In this work, TlSe composite materials were synthesized on a model polymer polyamide using temp. and pH controlled adsorption-diffusion method via selenization followed by the exposure to the group III metal (Tl) salt soln. and their surface morphol., chem. and cryst. phase information was detd. with particular focus on their corresponding structure-optical property relationship.  XRD anal. yielded a complex cryst. phase distribution which correlated well with the optical and surface morphol. properties measured. pH 11.3 and 80{\textdegree} yielded well defined, low structural disorder composite material surface.  After annealing in N2 at 100{\textdegree}, polycryst. PA-TlxSey composite materials yielded a single TlSe phase due to the enhanced diffusion and reaction of thallium ions into the polymer.  The method described here can be used to synthesize variety of binary III-VI compds. diffused into the polymer at relatively low temps. and low overall cost, thus providing for a flexible synthesis route for novel composite solar energy harvesting materials.

	abstract = {A study of copper selenide (CuxSe) thin film deposition on PA 6 polymer surface via adsorption/diffusion method and the resulting surface properties is presented.  A two-stage process used to deposit these thin films involves (a) selenization in 0.1 M K2SeS2O6 at pH 2.15 and 60{\textdegree}C followed by (b) treatment with 0.34 M Cu(II) and 0.06 M Cu(I) salt soln. at 80{\textdegree}C.  Resulting chem. and phys. properties of CuxSe films were investigated using XRD, XPS, SEM, and sheet resistivity measurements.  XRD data showed a complex mixt. of CuxSe phases with peaks due to the elemental Se present at longer exposures.  Thin film bulk elemental compn. varied with the exposure time whereas XPS anal. showed the surface to be slightly copper enriched.  Addnl., mostly Cu-Se bonds were obsd. on the surface with minor oxidn. products.  SEM cross-sectional anal. showed distinct CuxSe film formation on PA 6 surface with thickness of \~{}1-5 μm.  A sheet resistance of 150 {\textpm} 10 Ω/☐ was achieved after 120 min of selenization for all samples and remained const. after longer exposures. [on SciFinder(R)]},
