The single-source thermal vacuum evaporation (SSTVE) approach was adopted in this study to obtain inorganic perovskite thin films. The structural, morphological, compositional, and photoluminescent properties of the obtained layers were comprehensively investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed a microcrystalline structure with predominant CsPbBr3 and Cs4PbBr6 phases. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed a uniform polycrystalline morphology with crystallite sizes suitable for optoelectronic applications. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy indicated a Cs-rich composition, which was attributed to the differences in precursor vaporization behavior. The synthesized films exhibited strong photoluminescence with a distinct emission peak corresponding to the bandgap energy, confirming their potential as photoactive layers for light-emitting diodes. The SSTVE method provides a solvent-free, scalable route for fabricating high-quality inorganic perovskite films, suitable for industrial optoelectronic device manufacturing.
