B роботi дослiджено оптичнi властивостi, включно зi спектрами фотолюмiнесценцiї та їхньою кiнетикою, товстих плiвок SnS орторомбiчної фази з низьким рiвнем мiкродеформацiї. Вони мають склад, близький до стехiометрiї. Крiм того, цi плiвки мiстять невелику кiлькiсть iнших кристалiчних фаз, а саме: фаз SnS, SnS2, SnO2 та, iмовiрно, фази Sn2S3. Вивчення спектрiв першої та другої похiдних вiд коефiцiєнта поглинання, тобто спектрiв ACFD i ACSD, дало нам змогу точно визначити ширину забороненої зони рiзних кристалiчних фаз. Аналiз спектрiв ACSD також уможливив отримання iнформацiї щодо однорiдностi дослiджуваних наноматерiалiв, що дуже важливо для оптимiзацiї їхньої кристалiчної й оптичної якостi. Вивчення спектрiв фотолюмiнесценцiї дало нам змогу отримати iнформацiю про енергетичну структуру наноструктурованих плiвок SnS, природу їхнiх дефектiв. На основi вимiрювань кiнетики затухання фотолюмiнесценцiї було дослiджено розподiли часу життя для рiзних процесiв рекомбiнацiї в SnS2 i SnO2. Такi дослiдження дало змогу визначити час життя для рiзних процесiв рекомбiнацiї i таким чином отримати додаткову iнформацiю про їхню природу, пов’язану з певним типом оптичних переходiв, яка визначається енергiєю таких переходiв. Було показано, що час життя збуджених станiв в дослiджуваних плiвках мiститься в наносекундному дiапазонi. Таким чином, отриманi результати можуть допомогти в розробцi нових швидкодiйних ефективних наноматерiалiв, придатних для створення на їхнiй основi екологiчних абсорбуючих шарiв для сонячних елементiв.
