title: Low temperature CVD growth of PbS films on plastic substrates.
abstract: The low temperature growth of crystalline PbS films has been achieved on plastic substrates by CVD using a xanthate. The possible mechanism involved in this low temperature deposition has been probed by density functional theory calculations.
