Laser-induced photodeposition from ZnS colloid solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
The results of ZnS photodeposition from aqueous ZnS colloid solutions by KrF laser irradiation at 248 nm are given. In this process, the photoexcitation of ZnS colloid particles initiates complex redox processes, resulting in simultaneous ZnS thin film photodeposition and Zn particle precipitation in the bulk of the reaction cell. The zinc-based layers, which were deposited onto quartz substrates were investigated by the XPS technique. The dependence of the ZnS film stoichiometry on the initial colloid concentration and its photoactivity was determined.

Monodisperse, high refractive index, highly charged ZnS colloids self assemble into crystalline colloidal arrays.
We developed an efficient synthesis of monodisperse, highly surface charged, high refractive index ZnS spherical particles by using a gel-sol method. Concentrated solutions of zinc-ammonia-NTA (nitrilotriacetic acid) were reacted with thioacetamide in the presence of gelatin which stabilized the growing particles. We dramatically increased the particle surface charge density by condensing silic...

Here we report on the utilization of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for determination of Quantum Dots (QDs) in liquid solution. The process of optimization of experimental conditions from choosing the carrier medium to application of colloid QDs is described. The main goal was to get the best possible signal to noise ratio. The results obtained from the measurements confirmed the c...

.Zinc sulfide/carbon nanofibers ZnS/CNFs composite was successfully synthesized through a facile and simple method. The X-ray diffraction XRD patterns revealed the formation of ZnS decorated CNFs composite. The photocatalytic activity of ZnS/CNFs composite was investigated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine 6G Rh-6G dye in aqueous solutions. The effect of operational parameters such as initia...
متن کاملExperimental Study of the Laser Induced Flow and Thermophoresis of Suspending Microparticles
The induced flow effect is the rotary motion generated in the fluid flow due to the temperature gradient. The phenomenon of thermophoresis is the movement of particles from the warmer side of the fluid to the cooler side. Laser is a very suitable device for creating a temperature gradient due to its unique features such as high power density, harmonic waves, single wavelength and very low diver...
متن کاملUnderstanding the role of surfactants on the preparation of ZnS nanocrystals.
We have synthesized surface modified ZnS nanoparticles of size 2-3 nm using non-ionic surfactant-stabilized reverse emulsions. The non-ionic surfactants in the Span series, i.e. sorbitan monolaurate (Span 20) and sorbitan monooleate (Span 80) of hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values of 8.6 and 4.3, respectively, have been used for the stabilization of emulsions. The role of these surfacta...
