研究目的
Investigating the effect of In and Sb doping on the crystal structure, surface topography, growth mechanism, and optical properties of SnS2 single crystals.
研究成果
The single crystals of pure SnS2, In-doped SnS2, and Sb-doped SnS2 were successfully grown by the DVT technique. Characterization confirmed their stoichiometry, hexagonal crystal structure, and direct optical bandgap. Doping with In and Sb affected the crystallite size, strain, and dislocation density, with Sb-doped samples showing more significant effects due to larger variance in ionic radii. The study provides detailed insights into the structural and optical properties of doped SnS2 single crystals.
研究不足
The study is limited to the characterization of the as-grown single crystals and does not explore the application of these materials in devices. The effect of doping on electrical properties is not investigated.
