Abstract:
Smooth and compact Pb5Sb8S17 and Pb9Sb8S21 thin films were synthesized via sulfurization of unique layered precursor films of amorphous (Sb,S) and crystalline PbS; our syntheses suggest that these plagionite group phases are metastable and indicate that their formation does not require hydrogen incorporation.
