Ag-doped Sb2S3 polycrystals with silver content up to 10 at.% were obtained by high-temperature synthesis. Chemical composition of the samples determined by EDX spectroscopy corresponds to the element content in the initial mixture with a rather uniform element distribution over the sample surface with slight inhomogeneities of Ag distribution. XRD data confirmed the orthorhombic (stibnite) structure of the synthesized polycrystalline Sb2S3 : Ag ingots, for the Ag-containing samples AgSbS2 (β-miargyrite) phase was also revealed. Possible presence of the AgSbS2 phase can also be assumed from Raman measurements performed at low laser power density (Pexc = 4 kW/cm2). Raman spectra at increased Pexc (40 kW/cm2) reveal photostructural and photochemical transformations, namely the formation of Sb2O3 and elemental Sb phases due to heating of the sample surface by the tightly focused laser beam.
