Abstract:Nanocrystalline ZnS:Pb2+ is synthesized via a precipitation method. The luminescence is studied and the influence of the size of the nanocrystals on the luminescence properties is investigated. Nanocrystalline ZnS:Pb2+ shows a white emission under UV excitation. At least two luminescence centers are involved. One center is identified as a Pb2+ ion located on a regular Zn2+ site and gives a red emission under 480 nm excitation. The luminescence properties of this emission are characteristic for transitions on P… Show more
