Deposition of iron selenide nanocrystals and thin films from tris(N,N-diethyl-N′-naphthoylselenoureato)iron(iii)

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The complex tris(N,N-diethyl-N′-naphthoylselenoureato)iron(III) was synthesised and its X-ray single crystal structure determined. Thermolysis of this complex in oleylamine at all temperatures produced nanocrystals of FeSe2 whereas Aerosol Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition produced FeSe thin films on silicon substrates. Nanocrystals and thin films were characterised by powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
