Growth and optical properties of nanostructured ZnS:Mn films

Аннотация

Nanostructured ZnS:Mn films have been grown and their structure, optical properties, and photoluminescence have been studied. The nanostructured ZnS:Mn films have been grown on silicon and glass substrates via hydrochemical deposition from solution. The crystal structure and microstructure of the films have been studied by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The band gap of the nanostructured ZnS:Mn films has been determined. The intensity of their photoluminescence bands has been shown to increase with decreasing nanoparticle size.
