Alloying effects on Kβ/Kα intensity ratios and electrical properties in Cd1−xZnxS semi-conductor alloys

The alloying effect on Kβ/Kα intensity ratio in Cd1−xZnxS semi-conductor alloys and on structural, electrical and optical properties of these alloys were investigated. The sample was excited by gamma rays with energy 59.5 keV photons from an Am-241 radioisotope source. K X-rays emitted by the sample were counted with a Si(Li) detector. We found that the Kβ/Kα intensity ratio is changed by the alloying effect in Cd1−xZnxS semi-conductor alloys for different compositions x. We compared our results with the theoretical values.
