The structural behaviour of layers of SnS grown by spray pyrolysis

Abstract

Thin layers of tin monosulphide have been grown from equimolar solutions of tin chloride and N,N-dimethyl thiourea on Corning 7059 glass substrates at various temperatures in the range 100-450 °C using spray pyrolysis. The structural properties have been determined by using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy to evaluate the crystalline phases present and the surface topography of the grown layers. The changes observed in the structural phases with the growth temperature during the film formation are reported and discussed.

Morphological and thermal properties of β-SnS2 sprayed thin films using Boubaker polynomials expansion

“…In 1971, Patil and Tredgold [5] studied the first single crystals of SnS 2 prepared by vapour transport (VT) method and yielded interesting spectral response of photoconductivity measurements which showed a band gap of 2.34 eV (at 300 K). These results were confirmed by the works of Koteswara Reddy et al [6] who investigated thin layers of tin monosulfide grown at various temperatures in the range 100-450 • C using spray pyrolysis. They carried out an interesting study of the changes observed in the structural phases with the growth temperature during the film formation.…”

N-Tipi SnS2 Yarıiletken İnce Filmlerin Hazırlanması ve Karakterizasyonu

“…Bundan dolayı SnS2 de oluşan arayüzler üzerine yapılacak kontaklar için çok iyi elektronik geçişler yapmasına olanak sağlar [4]. Kalay ve kükürdün doğada bol olması ve toksik olmamamsı da önemli avantajlarındandır [5,6]. SnS2 ince filmleri fotodedektörlerde [7], gas sensörlerinde [8], güneş pillerinde [9], lityum iyon bataryalar için elektrot olarak [10], transistörlerde [11], diyotlarda [12] süperiletken aygıtlarda [13] vs. gibi birçok alanda kullanılmaktadır.…”

Single phase tin sulfide films prepared by one-bath electrodeposition

“…The films have mainly been deposited by molecular beam epitaxy [9], chemical bath deposition [10], spray pyrolysis [11], rf sputtering [12], and evaporation [13]. As a wet-based novel approach, electrodeposition [14][15][16] has been suggested due to its simple and low cost deposition.…”
