Photophysical properties of ZnS nanoclusters

Abstract: Optical measurements on ZnS nanoclusters have been carried out to investigate surface effects along with quantum size effects. ZnS nanocrystals have been synthesized in the range of 1.5–2.5 nm, using different chemical methods as well as electronic passivating procedures. The size of nanoparticles has been estimated from empirical pseudopotential calculations. We have obtained a significantly narrower size distribution of ZnS nanocrystals than reported in earlier published results. We observed band gap lumines… Show more

“…This red shift of the energy band gap with increasing cobalt concentration is interpreted as mainly due to the sp-d exchange interactions between the band electrons and the localized d electrons of the Co 2? ions substituting host ions and is consistent with the reported results (Kumbhoikar et al 2000), giving an additional evidence of cobalt substitution (Singhal et al 2010). Also the calculated particle size of the uncapped and PVP-capped CdS:Co 2?…”

“…As a result, with the decreasing particle size the blue-shift of the band-edge emission peak wavelength is expected [33]. Therefore, the red-shift of the radiative emission peak with the increase in the pH-value of the polyion assembly and number of the reaction cycles may be attributed to the increase in the size of the ZnS nanocrystallites in the polyion matrix.…”
