Growth time is an important factor in the growth of nanoparticles of a semiconducting material. With this view ZnS is synthesized at different duration of times by chemical method.Nanocrystalline ZnS is synthesized at room temperature by a cost effective chemical reduction method. The dispersed as grown samples in ethanol are characterized using electron diffraction techniques. Simultaneously o...

The theory of tunneling and resonant tunneling is reviewed. Experimental justification of this theory was provided by an InP-based RTD with room-temperature PVR = 12. Its valley current was well-modeled as the sum of thermionic emission through the second resonance and a temperature-independent scattering/defect component. ZnS and CaF2 were experimentally considered as epitaxial barrier materia...

Synthesis of semiconductor nanoparticles with new photophysical properties is an area of special interest. Here, we report synthesis of ZnS nanoparticles in aqueous micellar solution of Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The size of ZnS nanodispersions in aqueous micellar solution has been calculated using UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD, SAXS, and TEM measurements. The nanoparticles are found to ...

We report the development of a continuous-wave, room-temperature Cr(2+) ZnS laser that is compact and tunable over 700 nm. The laser is pumped by a diode-pumped Er-fiber laser and generates 0.7 W of linearly polarized radiation at 2.35microm , at up to 40% slope efficiency. Cr(2+) ZnS directly diode-pumped at 1.6microm yields polarized radiation that is tunable over 400 nm at up to 25 mW of out...

Different samples of ZnS nanoparticals were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature using zincsulphate as zinc source and sodium sulphide as sulphur source. Structural properties of synthesized ZnS nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) while optical properties were examined by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. XRD pattern showed the as synth...

A systematic investigation into the excitonic properties of wurtzite ZnS nanowires (NWs) is presented. Under optical excitation, the ZnS NWs exhibit strong ultraviolet (UV) emission. Optical transition from free exciton A, free exciton B, and shallow level emission are observed and analyzed through power-dependent and temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectroscopy measurements performed f...

In this paper, we demonstrate a facile design of ZnS-based heterostructures tailored by versatile glucose-derived carbon ensembles, including carbon dots (CDs) and thin carbon shells, via hydrothermal synthesis. Tuning the content of glucose allows interesting and simple conversion from CDs to carbon shells on the surfaces of ZnS nanospheres. The as-formed ZnS/carbon nanocomposites exhibit an e...

Nanometre-sized inorganic dots, wires and belts have a wide range of electrical and optical properties, and variable mechanical stability and phase-transition mechanisms that show a sensitive dependency on size, shape and structure. The optical properties of the semiconductor ZnS in wurtzite structures are considerably enhanced, but the lack of structural stability limits technological applicat...

This work described a continuous method to synthesize CdTe/CdS/ZnS core/shell/shell quantum dots. In an integrated system by flawlessly combining the chemical aerosol flow system working at high temperature (200-300 degrees C) to generate CdTe/CdS intermediate products and an additional heat-up setup at relatively low temperature to overcoat the ZnS shells, the CdTe/CdS/ZnS multishell structure...
