▼ [16a-B414-4] Deterministic synthesis of SnS and SnS2 by chemical vapor deposition
Keywords:Chemical vapor deposition, Tin sulfides
SnS is a promising material for spintronics because it has been experimentally demonstrated to exhibit ferroelectricity and theoretically predicted to exhibit a persistent spin helix state in a monolayer thickness. Large-scale and high-purity SnS crystals can be obtained by chemical vapor deposition using only Sn and S as precursors. However, few works have discussed the way to avoid the formation of another stable compound SnS2. Here, we demonstrate that the concentration ratio between S and Sn determines the formation of SnS and SnS2. This novel insight is expected to contribute to the production of high-quality SnS crystals.
