AbstractIn recent years, II-VI compound semiconductor nanoparticles synthesized in a liquid solution have been shown to possess unique optoelectronic properties which are highly attractive for the fabrication of various sensors based on the optical signal readout scheme. The challenge has been to immobilize these nanoparticles into films on solid surfaces, i.e. on a chip, so that they do not suffer any property deterioration as a sensing medium. In the presented work, synthesis of CdS nanoparticles in reverse micelle solution using AOT surfactant as a stabilizer has led to particles with relatively bright photoemission identified as originating from both shallow and deep traps inside the bandgap. Moreover, slightly altering the preparation procedure has produced samples with two distinctive crystal structures. Both types of CdS nanoparticles suspended in commonly utilized solvents such as chloroform and hexane were subject to chemical quenching when various organic compounds were introduced into the solution, demonstrating the sensitivity of trap states to their chemical environment. However, the two structures have shown very different optical properties. While post-synthesis treatment had no effect on one type of particle, the other type was able to undergo a photochemical reaction via prolonged UV irradiation, which resulted in an increased luminescence quantum yield ÖL from 2% to 14%. The same particle type was also responsive to thermal treatment, showing even higher values of ÖL (∼40%). The CdS/AOT particles have been cast into thin films by spin-coating on a Si wafer. Coating parameters have been investigated in order to achieve optimal control over the film thickness, uniformity, overall film durability, etc. These nanostructured films capped with various porous polymeric and sol-gel protective coatings were exposed to a series of organic compounds. Photoluminescence data collected for these samples served for identification of the compounds and their concentrations. This paper offers the discussion of photophysical response in CdS nanoparticle-based thin films with respect to development of novel nanostructured opto-chemical sensors.

In the present study, the microwave heating method was used to prepare cadmium sulfide quantum dots CdSQDs films. CdS nanoparticles size average obtained as (7nm). The morphology, structure and composition of prepared CdSQDs were examined using (FE-SEM), (XRD) and (EDX). Optical properties of CdSQDs thin films formed and deposited onto glass substrates have been studied at room temperature using UV/ Visible spectrophotometer within the wavelength of (300-800nm), and Photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The optical energy gap (Eg) which estimated using Tauc relation was equal (2.6eV). Prepared CdS nanoparticles thin films are free from cracks, pinholes and have high adhesion to substrate.

CdS nanoparticles and thin films are well known for their excellent semiconducting properties. When transition metal ions are doped into the CdS, it exhibits magnetic properties in addition to semiconducting properties and they are termed as dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs). In this paper, we discuss the preparation of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfonsuccinate (AOT) capped CdS nanoparticles and thin films doped with magnetic impurity Mn. Sodium bis(2-ethulexyl) sulfonsuccinate (AOT), capping agent promotes the uniform formation of nanoparticles. Optical characterizations are made using the UV-Vis spectrometer, PL, and FTIR. XRD shows the hexagonal structure of the CdS. SEM images and EDS measurements were made for the thin films. EPR shows the clear hyperfine lines corresponding to Mn2+ion in the CdS nanoparticles.

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanostructures were formed by means of electrophoretic deposition of nanoparticles with mean diameter of 6 nm and 20 nm, respectively. Nanoparticles were prepared by a microwave assisted synthesis in aqueous dispersion and electrophoretically deposited on aluminum plates. CdS thin films and ZnS one-dimensional nanostructures were grown on the negative electrodes after 24 hours of electrophoretic deposition at direct current voltage. CdS and ZnS nanostructures were characterized by means of scanning electron (SEM) and atomic force (AFM) microscopies analysis. CdS thin films homogeneity can be tunable varying the strength of the applied electric field. Deposition at low electric field produces thin films with particles aggregates, whereas deposition at relative high electric field produces smoothed thin films. The one-dimensional nanostructure size can be also controlled by the electric field strength. Two different mechanisms are considered in order to describe the formation of the nanostructures: lyosphere distortion and thinning and subsequent dipole-dipole interactions phenomena are proposed as a possible mechanism of the one-dimensional nanostructures, and a mechanism considering pre-deposition interactions of the CdS nanoparticles is proposed for the CdS thin films formation.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the photophysical properties of surface capped CdS and CdS:Mn nanoparticles in the form of spin coated thin films of the pure nanoparticles and nanoparticle -polymer blends. The organic capping reagent was p-thiocresol. Electroluminescence (EL) devices were fabricated and characterized by their current/voltage characteristics and EL emission performance. This is to our knowledge the first report on Mn doped CdS nanoparticles applied in EL devices with a single layer device structure (ITO/CdS:Mn/Al). Photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation measurements were performed on CdS:Mn nanoparticles in pyridine dispersion and on thin films. The PL excitation spectrum shows a narrow peak at 390nm. Excitation at this wavelength yields a broad PL spectrum spanning from about 450 to 700nm, which is dominated by a strong emission band at 585nm. This emission is attributed to transitions involving Mn levels in previous works. The EL emission peak is shifted to the red compared to the PL emission spectra. The characteristics and performance of these new types of EL devices will be presented and discussed.
