Abstract
Tin selenide (SnSe) nanocrystalline thin films of different thickness from 15 to 70 nm were prepared by inert gas condensation technique. Argon gas flow and substrate temperature were kept constant during deposition process at 2 × 10−3 Torr and 27 °C respectively. Polycrystalline orthorhombic phase structured was deduced for the prepared SnSe ingot powder by X-ray diffraction pattern. The grazing incident in-plane X-ray diffraction (GIIXD) pattern showed nanocrystalline orthorhombic structure for deposited SnSe thin film. The TEM micrographs showed that thin films were nanocrystalline with particle size in the range from 2 to 5.7 nm. The optical band gap Eg of the thin films due to direct allowed transition have values ranging from 2.5 to 2.13 eV as the particle size increases from 2 to 5.7 nm. The photoconductivity spectra of the nanostructured SnSe thin films of different particle size showed transitions at 2.45, 2.34 and 2.21 eV for films of different particle size.
