Properties of WS2 Films Prepared by Magnetron Sputtering from a Nanostructured Target

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tungsten disulfide films were prepared by magnetron sputtering from a laboratory and a nanostructured targets. The nanostructured target was produced from WS2 nanolamellar particles prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis in argon. The main phase in the films was 2H-WS2. According to the X-ray analysis, the films sputtered from the laboratory target and from the nanostructured one reveal different planes of film growth orientation.
