Template-free vapor-phase growth of patrónite by atomic layer deposition
Abstract
Despite challenges to control stoichiometry in the vanadium-sulfur system, template-free growth of patrónite, VS4, thin films is demonstrated for the first time. A novel atomic layer deposition (ALD) process enables the growth of phase pure films and the study of electrical and vibrational properties of the quasi-one-dimensional (1D) transition metal sulfide. Self-limiting surface chemistry during ALD of VS4 is established via in situ quartz crystal microbalance and quadrupole mass spectrometry between 150 to 200 °C. The V precursor, unconventionally, sheds all organic components in the first half-cycle, while the H2S half-cycle generates the disulfide dimer moiety, S2-2, and oxidizes V3+ to V4+. X-ray analysis establishes VS4 crystallinity and phase purity, as well as a self-limiting growth rate of 0.33 Å/cy, modest roughness (2.4 nm) and expected density (2.7g/cm3 ). Phase pure films enable a new assignment of vibrational modes and corresponding Raman activity of VS4 that is corroborated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Lastly, at elevated growth temperatures, a change in the surface mechanism provides a synthetic route to a second vanadium-sulfur phase, V2S3.
