In recent years, tin monosulfide (SnS), one kind of black phosphorus analogues, is of great
interest owing to its unique properties, such as low cost, environmental compatibility …

Colloidal synthesis of nanoparticles (NP) has advanced tremendously over the past 25
years, with an increasing number of research papers introducing nanomaterials with a …

Thin films of SnS-CUB with a lattice constant of 11.6 Å, 32 units of SnS per cell and an
optical bandgap (E g) of 1.7 eV (direct), are mostly produced by chemical techniques. This …

Epitaxial growth of the newly discovered metastable cubic tin sulfide (π-SnS) material was
studied theoretically and experimentally. Lead sulfide (PbS) substrates possess a small …

Thin films of tin monosulfide were chemically deposited on GaAs substrates and on GaAs
with intermediate PbS layers. GaAs surface treatments with alkaline solutions containing …

While the new cubic phase of tin monosulfide, π-SnS, shows potential for various
applications, not much work was focused on the phase transitions, thermal stability, and …

Obtaining single-phase tin monosulfide (SnS) films at low temperatures is challenging since
cubic (π-SnS) and orthorhombic (α-SnS) polymorphs have similar energies of formation and …

Tin monosulfide can be grown in cubic (π-SnS) and orthorhombic (α-SnS) polymorphs by
low-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD). The optical properties of these polymorphs …

A new orthorhombic binary phase in the tin mono-selenide system, γ-SnSe, was deposited
from solution onto an intermediate layer of PbS on GaAs substrates. Its structure is based on …

Controlling the functionality of nanoparticles (NPs) requires molecular-level control over
their surfaces often achieved by addition of surfactants such as the oleylamine (OLA)/oleic …
