Abstract

Polycrystalline thin films of chromium doped tungsten disulphide (WS2) have been deposited onto glass and steel substrates by Aerosol-Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (AACVD) using bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)disulfidothioxo tungsten(vi) (WS3L2) and tris(diethyldithiocarbamato) chromium(iii) [Cr(S2CNEt2)3] (CrL3) complexes as precursors in different molar ratios at 450 °C. The deposited films were characterised by p-XRD, SEM, and EDX and Raman spectroscopies. Chromium doping of up to 15 mol% was achieved in WS2 thin films.
