Study of⁴the influence of annealing parameters on the optical and compositional properties of ZnS, ZnS:Mn and ZnS:Sm grown by Sol Gel

Structural and Optical Properties of Mn doped ZnS Nanoparticles: Sol-gel and Quantum Chemical Studies

“…The Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) is a II-VI semiconductor with a wide direct band gap in the near UV region. It is an attractive material to be used as an electro-optic modulator, anti-reflecting coating in solar cells, sensors, infrared Windows and lasers [1][2][3][4][5]. There are different thin-film-production techniques to prepare ZnS thin films, such as sol-gel, chemical vapor deposition [6], spray pyrolysis [7], chemical bath deposition [8], electron beam evaporation [9], and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) [10].…”
