Abstract
The formation of nanostructure arrays on the surface of nanocrystalline tin sulfide (SnS) films during inductively coupled argon plasma treatment is investigated. The parameters of the nanostructures are studied by electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis and the main regularities of nanostructure growth are established. It is shown that the SnS nanostructure growth during plasma treatment is complex and involves the vapor–liquid–solid mechanism with self-assembled tin seeds.
