CdS Nanocrystallines: Synthesis, Structure and Nonlinear Optical Properties

Abstract

We report the synthesis, structure and nonlinear optical properties of cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanocrystallines (NCs) synthesized electrochemically both with and without detergent ATLAS G3300. Relevant structural and morphological features are explored by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The efficiency of the second harmonic generation (SHG) appears to be strongly dependent on the energy density of the incident fundamental laser radiation and NC sizes.

Electronic structure and optical properties of the Ag3SbS3 crystal: experimental and DFT studies

“…Binary, ternary, and quaternary chalcogenide semiconductor materials occupy an important place among functional materials due to the variety of physical properties that make them promising for practical applications. [1][2][3][4][5] Ternary semiconductor compounds often have some properties better than binary materials, which prompts intensive research in this field. They are used in optoelectronics, 6,7 nonlinear optics, [8][9][10] sensor technology, 11 and the energy industry.…”
