The CVD of silver selenide films from dichalcogenophosphinato and imidodichalcogenodiphosphinatosilver(I) single-source precursors

Structural, optical, magnetic and half-metallic studies of cobalt doped ZnS thin films deposited via chemical bath deposition

“…[3][4][5][6][7] Other methods to deposit/synthesize doped ZnS films and nanocrystals include: the aqueous method, 6 chemical bath deposition, 7,8 refluxing technique, 9 precipitation method, 10,11 pulsed laser ablation, 12 solid state reaction method, 13 solvothermal technique 14 and hydrothermal method, 15,16 aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition and colloidal thermolysis. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Among these, CBD is the simplest and most cost effective method to synthesize thin films and nanocrystals. The only report found on cobalt doping in ZnS via CBD was presented by Tang et al 7 showing the enhancement in efficient ultraviolet emission of ZnS nanospheres after cobalt doping.…”

Phase-pure fabrication and shape evolution studies of SnS nanosheets

“…[25][26][27][28] A variation in the reaction conditions (reaction temperature and Sn/S molar ratio) gave SnS nanocrystals with different shapes and sizes. [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] Herein, we report the synthesis of a new organotin complex, its X-ray single crystal structure determination and its use as a single molecular precursor for SnS nanostructures. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Despite numerous investigations on the properties of layered materials, a systematic study on formation mechanism of these materials has not yet been demonstrated.…”

Aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) of CdS thin films from heterocyclic cadmium(II) complexes

“…They have high symmetry axis distinguished from all the other axes which serves as the directional axis for the asymmetric growth for the synthesis of nanorods [6][7][8]. Their properties and potential for applications in photovoltaic technologies which employ the use of cheap and widely available elements is important [10][11][12].…”
