Abstract: Tin mono-sulfide (SnS) thin films have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on two different substrates, GaAs (100) and soda lime glass at 400°C. High resolution X-ray Diffraction (HXRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are used to characterize the structural properties of the as grown SnS films. By introducing a graphene buffer layer between the SnS thin film and the substrate, the XRD rocking curve's full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the SnS film grown on GaAs (100) and soda lime glass decrease from 2.92° to 0.37° and from 6.58° to 2.04° respectively, indicating a significant improvement of SnS thin films.
