Tin sulfide (SnS) film is grown by sputtering process with subsequent post-sulfurization. As-deposited SnS consists of orthorhombic and cubic structure SnS whereas post-sulfurized films showed pure orthorhombic crystal structure. This structural transformation was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD...
