  • Title: Optical studies of CdS:Mn nanoparticles.
    Author: Sharma R.
    Journal: Luminescence; 2012; 27(6):501-4. PubMed ID: 22213486.
    Abstract:
    Cadmium sulphide nanoparticles were grown using a wet chemical method, by dissolving the reactants, cadmium chloride and sodium sulphide in water, in the presence of mercaptoethanol (ME), which was used as a capping agent. Manganese chloride was used to dope the nanoparticles. It was found that the particle size varied with different concentrations of ME. At higher concentrations of ME, smaller sized nanoparticles were synthesized. This method also reveals the high stability of nanoparticles in water. Nanoparticle properties were investigated using UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The particle sizes were measured by the XRD technique, SEM and optical absorption spectra and were in the range 2-6 nm.
