Synthesis of Silicon Sulfide by Using CS2 Gas

Abstract Silicon sulfide (SiS 2 ) was synthesized from Si, SiC, Si 3 N 4 , and a eutectic Al-Si liquid. An Ar-CS gas mixture, after bubbling through liquid CS passed over pulverized or alloy White, needle-shaped SiS precipitated as single phase on the colder downstream surface when powder in SiO liner heated 1273 K. This deposition mechanism involves reaction between to form with vaporization of SiS(g) (s) S (g). Quartz unaffected by gases. Notably, were found be suitable sources for synthesis, although this suppressed owing Al formation latter.
