Excitonic effects are observed in the optical absorption and photoluminescence of strongly confined CdS quantum dots embedded in the polymer matrix. CdS nanoparticles of different crystallite sizes have been prepared by chemical route with polymer as a host material. The CdS nanocomposite film was made up of particle smaller than 5 nm and shows a composite band gap up to 3.2 eV, whereas the band gap for bulk hexagonal CdS is about 2.42 eV. Photoluminescence spectra show a strong emission band corresponding to electron–hole recombination and a weak band due to defect emission. The decrease of particle size was monitored from the U-V visible absorption measurement as well as photoluminescence, which suffered blue shift with decrease in particle size. The particle size and surface morphology were also analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

The CdS quantum dots are prepared in AOT reverse micellar self-assemblies. The quantum dots were prepared from different precursor ratios of 1:1 and 1:2 which yielded different particle size. Steady state luminescence quenching studies were carried out for these quantum dots with N, N-dimethyl amine and triethyl amine. The downward curvature was observed form the SternVolmer plots showing the static nature of the quenching process. The static nature is attributed to presence of the quencher molecules to the quantum dot surface.

We report here the UV-VIS study of CdS nanoparticles synthesized via Chemical precipitation in aqueous medium, the UV-VIS of CdS in aqueous medium shows an excitonic peak at 230 nm, while that of CdS quantum dots in solid form shows an absorption maximum at 480 nm. This bleaching of band gap may be attributed to Moss–Burstein shift in the absorbance edge.

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.

Lead sulfide quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by liquid phase method. The particle size can be controlled by changing the concentration of reactants and surfactant and the size of the QDs varies from 7[Formula: see text]nm to 20[Formula: see text]nm, which results in the change of the optical properties and the band gap of the particles. The optical band gap of lead sulfide QDs increased drastically with the decrease of the diameter of the sample QDs.
