The XRD pattern of Iron sulfide in shown in figure. This sample of Iron sulfide was synthesized
by hydrothermal method. The sample was treated for 120 °C in a Teflon autoclave for 18hours.

The following peaks of Iron sulfide matched with the standard XRD peaks having (2θ)
values as 24.2083, 331177, 40.89164, 49.51465, 57.56698, 62.49364 and 64.05877 having hkl
values (1 1 0), (2 0 0), (2 1 1), (2 2 1), (2 2 2), (0 2 3), and (3 2 1) that exactly matches with our
result of Iron sulfide nano-particles. The XRD analysis of sample showed that the iron sulfde
nano-particles prepared by this method have cubic structure.

Conclussion

Iron sulfide had been prepared via hydrothermal technique is found in different crystalline
forms.The average crystalline size is 26.82 nm. XRD pattern showed cubic structure. Iron
sulfide nanoparticles are very useful in different field areas specially in the field of solar cells.
