“…ZnS nanostructures [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. It is reported that the band gap increases with increasing TM doping concentration (Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag, Cd) in ZnS NPs [ 30 ] and decreases with increasing Sr [ 31 ] or RE [ 34 , 35 ] dopants. It must be noted that there are observed opposite results, for example that decreases with increasing Mn–, Ni– and Co- doping in ZnS thin films [ 29 ] or with increasing Mn doping in ZnS NPs [ 36 ].…”
