The Structural, Morphological, Optical and Photoluminescence Studies of Mn2+ Doped CdS/Zn3(PO4)2 Nanocomposites
Authors
Abstract:
The present study used a hydrothermal technique to synthesize undoped and Mn 2+ doped CdS/Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 semiconducting nanocomposite materials. Powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrometer, Fourier transform- Infrared Spectroscopy-FT-IR, and photoluminescence techniques were employed to study structural, optical, and luminescence properties of produced nanocomposites for modern electronic applications. The hexagonal structure of CdS and the monoclinic structure of Zn3(PO4)2 are both reflected in the powder X-ray diffraction spectra. When Mn 2+ ions are present in the host lattice, a lattice distortion occurs, causing a phase change from the - phase of γ-Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 to the β-phase of Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , without affecting the hexagonal phase of CdS. The average crystallite size of produced nanocomposites was 22-25 nm, and also calculated the lattice strain and dislocation density to better understand internal deformation of the composites. The FT-IR spectra were used to investigate the molecular vibrations and functional groups in the samples. The surface morphology of the nanocomposites is hexagonal spheres on rectangular shaped nano-flakes, and the interatomic distance between the hexagonal spheres is decreased as the doping concentration increases, forming a rod- like structure on the flakes. EDAX results confirm the presence of various relevant elements in the prepared samples. The quantum confinement of produced samples reduces as the Mn 2+ doping concentration in the host lattice increases. The photoluminescence results demonstrate shallow trapped states due to the transition: d-d ( 4 T 1 → 6 A 1 ) of the tetrahedrally coordinated Mn 2+ states and the impact of Mn 2+ ions exhibiting several peaks in the UV-Visible region (365-634 nm) generating RGB (Red, Green, Blue) luminescence. Color coordinates and CCT values were calculated using the CIE diagram, and color correlated temperatures in the range of 2513–7307 K were discovered, which might be used in solid state lighting applications.

Nanocrystalline particles of Cerium Oxide (CeO2) have been prepared by the chemical precipitation method using Cerium nitrate and Urea with a molar ratio of 1:2. The results revealed that the formation of CeO2 fine particles is influenced by molar ratio of metal nitrates to fuel. Well faceted CeO2 nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation ...

Extensively studied Mn-doped semiconductor nanocrystals have invariably exhibited photoluminescence over a narrow energy window of width ≤150 meV in the orange-red region and a surprisingly large spectral width (≥180 meV), contrary to its presumed atomic-like origin. Carrying out emission measurements on individual single nanocrystals and supported by ab initio calculations, we show that Mn P...
