Study of Lattice Parameter and Nanoparticle Size in Lead Chalcogenides (PbX, X= S, Se and Te)

Dipak Raj Adhikari, Hari Prasad Lamichhane

Abstract


In the present paper, the structural and electronic properties have been studied with help of thermodynamic parameter. The lattice parameter and nanoparticle size in lead chalcogenides [(PbX, X=S, Se and Te)] are calculated with help of fitting parameter under the effect of temperature. The calculated values are close agreement with the experimental results. Keywords: Lead chalcogenides, lattice parameter and energy band gap
