Uniform, smooth and densely packed Bi 2 S 3 thin films were prepared at room temperature by an in situ solution chemical reaction using bismuth nitrate as precursor in a form of thin solid film which was reacted with ammonium sulfide ethanol solution. Bi 2 S 3 thin films both as-deposited and anneal...
