Abstract

Crystals of Bismuth-Trisulphide were grown by a simple gel technique using single diffusion method. The optimum growth condition were established by varying various parameters such as PH of gel solution gel concentration and gel setting time, concentration of reactants etc. crystals having different morphologies and habits, the crystal structure of Bi2S3 is Rhombus These crystals are transparent some were opaque and some translucent. The crystals were characterized using XRD, FTIR and chemical analysis
