Abstract
Nanostructured materials have attracted much attention in various fields of science and technology. Tin sulfide (SnS) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by wet chemical method. The as-prepared tin sulfide nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dielectric studies. The SEM measurements show the aggregates of small nanoparticles. TEM images showed the presence of spherical tin sulfide nanoparticles of size in the range of 15 nm. The optical properties were obtained from UV-VIS absorption spectrum and the optical band gap was calculated. The dielectric constant calculated by varying the frequencies at different temperatures.
Key words: Preparation, SnS nanoparticles, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), optical property and dielectric constant
