Intrinsic defects such as vacancies, interstitials, and anti-sites often introduce rich luminescent properties in II-VI semiconductor nanomaterials. A clear understanding of the dynamics of the defect-related excitons is particularly important for the design and optimization of nanoscale optoelectronic devices. In this paper, low-temperature steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL)...

As a cation-deficient, p-type semiconductor, copper sulfide (Cu(2-x)S) shows promise for applications such as photovoltaics, memristors, and plasmonics. However, these applications demand precise tuning of the crystal phase as well as the stoichiometry of Cu(2-x)S, an ongoing challenge in the synthesis of Cu(2-x)S materials for a specific application. Here, a detailed transformation diagram of ...

2014 Photovoltaic devices have been obtained by a direct polymerization of undoped (or p-type doped) thin film (CH)x layer onto a polycrystalline cadmium sulfide film. The morphology of the contact is observed by S.E.M. microscopy. The electrical characteristics of this device are studied in the dark or under illumination. The main result, at AM1, 100 mW/cm2 with doped (CH)x correspond to 0.5 p...

A one-dimensional assembly of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles was prepared by using functionalized polymers with pendant Fréchet-type dendritic wedges of different generation. The novel dendronized polymers acted as both nanoreactors for the formation of CdS nanoparticles and a template to arrange the nanoparticles into a necklace. The polymers of different dendron generation were applied t...

This paper presents the results of the research on the luminescence of cadmium sulfide nanocrystals (NCs) synthesized by colloid chemistry in a gelatinous matrix. The photostimulation of the short-wavelength emission band with λmax = 480 nm has been detected. It is shown that the determining factor of the photostimulation effect is the adsorption of the water molecules on the surface of NC. The...

The effects of surface passivation on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of CdS nanoparticles oxidized by straightforward H2O2 injection were examined. Compared to pristine cadmium sulfide nanocrystals (quantum efficiency ≅ 0.1%), the surface-passivated CdS nanoparticles showed significantly enhanced luminescence properties (quantum efficiency ≅ 20%). The surface passivation by H2O2 injectio...
