High quality and uniform morphology AgI films consisting of crystal grains about 30 nm in size were obtained by the laser (XeCl) ablation method. The designed silver iodide films have crystalline structure, optical and electrical properties corresponding to stoichiometric compound films. We have demonstrated that the laser ablation method commonly used for the preparation of thin films and nanolayered structures with the defined thickness can be successfully used for the deposition of AgI superionic conductor layers as well. The films were studied by XRD, EDA, optical absorption, photoluminescence, and impedance spectroscopies.
