Abstract

Nano Sn_1−xFe_xS (x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) samples were prepared using thermal evaporation under flow of nitrogen gas. Rietveld analysis was applied to determine the structural and microstructural parameters of different phases formed in the Sn_1−xFe_xS system. The particle morphology and size distribution of the different samples were explored using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed Sn²⁺ oxidation state and confirmed the incorporation of iron as Fe²⁺. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity greatly enhanced with Fe content with broad spectrum enclosing violet and blue as main emitted colors beside green and weak yellow. The optical band gap E_g, obtained applying the Kubelka–Munk relation, changed nonmonotonically with the Fe doping amount attaining highest (1.17 eV) and lowest (1.1 eV) values for x = 2.5% and 7.5%, respectively. Nonlinear and linear optical parameters were studied in relation to iron doping ratios.
