Structural properties of thermal evaporated SnTe thin films

Solution Synthesis and Optical Properties of SnTe Nanocrystals

“…Although several synthetic routes, including mechanical alloying, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), thermal evaporation, and metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), have been developed for the deposition of thin films of SnTe, to the best of our knowledge, there is only one report for the synthesis of well-formed SnTe nanoparticles . Kovalenko et al demonstrated a method of forming SnTe nanoparticles of less than 10 nm in size.…”
