Abstract
The interesting properties of metallic and semiconductor nanowires provide many applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this project, we have synthesized Cu and CdSe nanowires using electrodeposition method. To adjust deposition bath conditions and characterize the structure of deposit first we prepared CdSe thin film on ITO substrates. The used solution was contained 0.1 M CdSO4+ 0.1 mM SeO2 in the acidic situation with pH=2.5. The best reduction potential was determined about -0.5 V. The XPS and XRD analyses showed that the ratio of cadmium to selenium in the films was 1:1 and the film’s structure is amorphous. Optical band gap of the cadmium selenide films was obtained...

Abstract
Dark and light conductivity has been investigated in Ca-doped bismuth ferrite thin films. Higher conductivity in the order of 105 magnitude of pure Bismuth ferrite has been observed for Bi0.85Ca0.15FeO3-δ. Structural analysis using Rietveld refinement showed a deviation from volume reduction for Bi0.85Ca0.15FeO3-δ that could be the reason of the abnormally high conductivity for this compound. Although higher calcium doping reduced conductivity but photoresponse could be revived. Atomic Forec Microscopy investigations showed that surface roughness decreases with increasing calcium concentration. Enhanced photoconductivity is reported for Bi0.7Ca0.3FeO3-δ with ~2.9 eV direct optical band gap...
