A study of the physical properties of sprayed CdS thin films

Abstract: CdS films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis and characterized by several methods. The spray solution is made of cadmium chloride or cadmium acetate and thiourea. Optical and compositional properties and structure of the CdS films have been investigated. An analysis of the film's structure, preferred cyrstallographic orientation and presence of impurity phases have been obtained using X-ray diffraction technique as well as infrared spectroscopy. The visible absorption measurements have been carried out for the study of the impurity phases. Quantitative Auger analysis shows the composition of the spray solution and a post-spray heat treatment have also been investigated.

Hepatic lesions after single injection of cadmium acetate in squirrel.

Abstract: A single intraperitoneal injection of cadmium acetate induced histopathological changes in liver viz., dilatation of central vein, Kupffer cells hyperplasia, feathery degeneration of hepatocytes and foci of necrosis. These findings suggest that cadmium might have produced deleterious effect on this organ. Cadmium has been described to be associated in various pathological conditions viz., hepatic and renal dysfunction, growth inhibition, anemia and changes in plasma protein level and proteinuria)1-4) In cadmium intoxication, regardless of the administrative route, the largest quantity has been observed to accumulate in the liver and kidney, which results in interlobular hepatic and interstitial renal fibrosis.2,4-6) All these disorders of liver had been reported after chronic exposure. But very little work has been performed on the acute phase of the metal.7) Recently, hepatic lesions have been described in squirrels after 24 hours of cadmium injection.8) In the present study hepatic lesions have been recorded during first week of cadmium acetate treatment in common Indian ground squirrel (Funambulus pennanti, Wroughton).
