Abstract
Thin films of tin(II) iodide were prepared and characterized. The lattice structure of thin films determined by X-ray diffraction is different from that of bulk SnI 2 . This change of lattice is explained by a polymorphous transition of monoclinic α-SnI 2 to hexagonal β-SnI 2 . The unit cell parameters of β-SnI 2 are a = (4.506 ± 0.014) A, c = (6.946 ± 0.011) A. Thin films of β-SnI 2 have predominant [001] orientation.
