The investigation of the maximum doping concentration of iron in zinc sulfide nanowires, and its optical and ferromagnetic properties

Chemical bath deposition of Fe-doped ZnS thin films: Investigations of their ferromagnetic and half-metallic properties

“…The origin of ferromagnetism in such kind of materials is still a subject of controversies. There are several studies presenting the ferromagnetic [13] and super paramagnetic [10] behavior of iron doped ZnS nanowires. The exchange coupling and size of the crystallites were speculated for such kind of variant behavior.…”

“…The room temperature ferromagnetism in ZnFeS nanoparticles obtained via chemical co-precipitation was first reported by Sambasivam et al [8]. Up to now various chemical methods have been adopted to synthesize iron doped ZnS nanoparticles and nanocrystals such as; by micro-emulsion [9], chemical coprecipitation [10,11] and hydrothermal methods [12,13]. Xie et al [14] reported ferromagnetism and halfmetallicity in transition metals doped ZnS by DFT studies and found that the magnetic moments due to 3d orbitals of transition metal ions are delocalized on the ions of host semiconductors.…”

A study on the synthesis, longitudinal optical phonon–plasmon coupling and electronic structure of Al doped ZnS nanorods

“…8,9 In the last two decades, much attention has converged on the synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured materials, such as nanorods, 10,11 nanowires, 12,13 nanoribbons, 14 and nanotubes. 15 These have been synthesized by various techniques such as the chemical co-precipitation method, 10 hydrothermal method, [16][17][18][19][20] thermal evaporation method, 21 pulsed laser deposition, 22 electrochemical deposition, 23 molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), 24 microwave assisted techniques, 25 chemical vapor deposition 26 etc. This interest is due to their unique properties and applications, which were superior to those of their bulk counterparts.…”

Local structural studies on Co doped ZnS nanowires by synchrotron X-ray atomic pair distribution function and micro-Raman shift

“…10,11 In the last two decades, much attention has been focused on the synthesis, physical properties, and applications of onedimensional (1D) nanostructured materials, such as nanorods, 12,13 nanowires, [14][15][16] nanoribbons, 17 and nanotubes. 18 For the preparation of 1D materials, there are various effective techniques, such as the hydrothermal method, 16,[19][20][21][22] thermal evaporation method, 23 pulse laser deposition, 24 electrochemical deposition, 25 molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), 26 microwave assisted technique, 27 and chemical vapor deposition. 28 ZnS is also applicable in photocatalysis because of its electron-hole pair generation capability by photoexcitation without any co-agent.…”
