Chalcogenide glass and II�VI group semiconductors have been mainly used for application in the field of electronics and optoelectronic devices. In present work, the optical and structural properties like optical band gap, Urbach energy, FWHM (Full width half maximum) of peaks value of thin films of chalcogenide Cd0.75Se0.25 have been discussed in detail. Here, the XRD and UV�Vis�s techniques have been used for material characterization. Thermal evaporation technique has been used for fabrication of thin film. The present work CdxSe1?x bulk material have excellent properties which show a new way for researchers in the field of solar cell application. � The Author(s), under exclusive licence to The Optical Society of India 2024.enCdSeChalcogenideOptical band gapThin filmX-ray diffractionArticle10.1007/s12596-023-01609-9
