Abstract

To grow SnS films, the spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) process is applied. The films were deposited at various substrate temperatures (S_T) of 400, 450, and 500 degrees Celsius for two hours. Through XRD analysis, the impact of ST on the structure was investigated. Peak (113) crystallite sizes were 13.16, 21.48, and 38.87 nm, respectively, at base temperatures of (400, 450, and 500) ℃. The effect of ST on the structure was examined using XRD analysis. A predominat Peak at (113) plane. The crystallite sizes at base temperatures of (400, 450, and 500) ℃ were 13.16, 21.48, and 38.87 nm, respectively.
