“…The same authors extended their work and investigated a possible influence of the particle size on the emission wavelength of ZnS:Eu 2+ nanoparticles. 219,312 Besides ZnS:Eu 2+ , 218−225 also nanosized CaS:Eu 2+ , 11,211 SrS:Eu 2+ , 215 MgS:Eu 2+ , 216,217 GdS:Eu 2+ , 227 CaGa 2 S 4 :Eu 2+ , 230 BaAl 2 S 4 :Eu 2+ , 231 and PbS:Eu 2+226 have been reported in the literature. Lead sulfide nanocrystals doped with divalent europium, for example, were synthesized by the thermolysis of mixed precursors like [Pb(ddtc) 2 phen] and [Eu(ddtc) 2 phen] (ddtc = diethyldithiocarbamate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline).…”
