Abstract
In this study, Tin selenide (SnSe) was prepared via thermal evaporation from tin ingots and selenium powder followed by annealing at 250°C in an inert atmosphere of Argon gas. Two samples were used for characterization purposes, as-deposited and annealed. The structural parameters including particle size, strain, dislocation density, and number of crystallites per unit area were calculated from XRD while the optical properties including band gap were extracted from UV-visible spectroscopy. Four probe techniques were used to measure the electrical properties.
期刊介绍:
Chalcogenide Letters (CHL) has the aim to publish rapidly papers in chalcogenide field of research and
appears with twelve issues per year. The journal is open to letters, short communications and breakings news
inserted as Short Notes, in the field of chalcogenide materials either amorphous or crystalline. Short papers in
structure, properties and applications, as well as those covering special properties in nano-structured
chalcogenides are admitted.
