Abstract

The tuning of optical and dielectric parameters, structural and microstructural properties of CdO synthesized via a solution growth two-electrode cell arrangement under ambient environment, with the incorporation of Co ion into its matrix was investigated. The energy band gaps of the films was estimated in the range of 1.69 eV
