I prepared SnS films by chemical bath deposition method. I need the ICDD card number of SnS cubic crystal structure to analysis of XRD patterns of films.
A simple search for "SnS cubic" will yield as top result the link to the materials project page on SnS. A link in this page yields the entry in the ICSD data bank, which includes a link to the original publication in B.F. Bilenkii, A.G. Mikolaichuk, D.M. Freik, Physica Status Solidi, 1968, 28, K5, DOI: 10.1002/pssb.19680280146.
You can also find this entry without any effort in the Crystallography Open Data base.
SnS cubic has a=5.81 Angstroem, halite structure.
With the information contained therein it is straightforward to calculate the powder pattern by hand or to use and Rietveld type program to calculate the powder diffraction pattern.
In my opinion, Prof. R. B. Neder has given you a very good answer. I think that you should also read this article and it's supplementary material: Xizhu Zhao, Luke M. Davis, Xiabing Lou, Sang Bok Kim, Soňa Uličná, Ashwin Jayaraman, Chuanxi Yang, Laura T. Schelhas, Roy Gordon; Study of the crystal structure of SnS thin films by atomic layer deposition. AIP Advances 1 March 2021; 11 (3): 035144. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0032782
Mohamed Saleh Mahdi ,
for your convenience I've added a calculated powder diffraction pattern (assuming Copper radiation and a lattice parameter 5.81Angstroem) as weel as a list of the firt 10 reflections to be expected.
