Lead sulfide (PbS) and samarium-doped (1, 3, and 5 wt%) PbS thin film layers were coated facilely on glass slides using the nebulizer spray procedure. To investigate the doping effect on the crystal structure, morphology, light absorption, and emission features of the deposited films X-ray diffracti...
