Abstract: | The photoluminescence (PL) of ZnS:Mn nanocrystals was improved greatly by microwave assisted growth of ZnS shell. Under optimized conditions, the luminescence quantum yield of ZnS:Mn nanocrystals increased from 2.8% to 12.1% after the growth of the ZnS shell. Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements indicate that the improvement of the dispersivity of the doped Mn ions is responsible for the PL enhancement. Growth of the ZnS shell not only facilitated the diffusion of Mn ions during microwave irradiation but also prohibited the segregation of Mn ions on the particle surface. As a result, more isolated Mn2+ ions were produced after the growth of the ZnS shell, and thus the orange luminescence of ZnS:Mn nanocrystals was enhanced greatly. |
