Tin sulfide is being widely investigated as an earth-abundant light harvesting material, but recorded efficiencies for SnS fall far below theoretical limits. We describe the synthesis and characterization of the single-crystal tin sulfides (SnS, SnS2, and Sn2S3) through chemical vapor transport, and combine electronic structure calculations with time-resolved microwave conductivity measurements to shed light on the underlying electrical properties of each material. We show that the coexistence of the Sn(II) and Sn(IV) oxidation states would limit the performance of SnS in photovoltaic devices due to the valence band alignment of the respective phases and the ''asymmetry'' in the underlying point defect behavior. Furthermore, our results suggest that Sn2S3, in addition to SnS, is a candidate material for low-cost thin-film solar cells. [less ▲]

The first antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) exhibiting a (chiral) nematic phase, a combination which has long been the goal of synthetic chemists working with polar liquid crystals but which at the same time represents a fundamental contradiction in terms of translational order, was recently reported by Nishiyama and co-workers. We have investi- gated this chiral twin dimer by optic, electrooptic, and dielectric methods and conclude that it is not an ordinary AFLC material, but one where the peculiar properties of bent-core smectics are combined with those of ordinary rod-shaped liquid crystals. The compound exhibits a new type of nematic-smectic phase transition, connected with a change of molecule conformation from rod- to bent-shaped. This also has an important impact on the chiral interactions in the system. Toward the high-temperature end of the smectic phase, the energy balance between bent conformation smectic and straight conformation nematic can be shifted by an electric field such that the transition to the nematic phase with stretched-out molecules can be field-induced.
