Abstract
SnS nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by precipitation method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The SEM measurements show the aggregates of small nanocrystals in which size of 15 nm were estimated by Scherrer’s formula. The chemical composition of the prepared sample was analyzed by an EDS. The optical properties were obtained from UV-VIS spectra and the optical bandgap was calculated. The SnS nanoparticles were also studied by NLO properties.
