Abstract

The synthesis, characterization and thermal stability characteristics of phosphine complex are described. A scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image of the chalcocite thin film reveals large plates with in-plane dimensions in the ∼1-2μm range. It was shown that the crystallographic orientation and the film microstructure are suitable for growth of highly oriented chalocite thin films. The results show that phosphine-stabilized copper(I) thiolates are applicable in a new class of single-source Cu 2S precursors.
