What parameters should be maintained when making the thin film of Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) in powder form using the thermal evaporation technique?

I am preparing a thin film of cadmium Sulfide (CdS) in powder form using the thermal evaporation technique (closed sublimation). I have problem in that 1) the films are not uniform and 2) some...

Is is possible to pole with corona poling pellets of the sample material instead of thin films?

As it is highly probable that pellets will have a higher degree of air gaps and voids than thin films, is it possible to pole the samples with corona poling nevertheless? Or is there the...

Can fractal dimension of thin film surfaces affects the electrons energy states?

As fractal dimension of a thin film surface implies the irregularity in the surface. Is it possible that the energy states of the electrons are also affected by the fractal dimension?
