A set of optimized deposition conditions for the inner wall coating of fused silica tubes with amorphous selenium was elaborated. The method is based on the vapor transport deposition of pure elemental selenium on a cooled substrate held at liquid nitrogen temperatures. Morphological and structural examination of the deposited layer was performed by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction studies. Neutron activated selenium was used to monitor the deposition pattern and its stability under high gas flows. Monte Carlo simulations allowed the estimation of the different Se species composing the amorphous phase, at the given experimental deposition conditions. The versatility of the coating method presented in this work allows for the coating of tubes of different lengths and diameters, opening the way for several applications of amorphous selenium films in various fields.
