In this paper, we report synthesis and study of magneto-optic Faraday effect for dilute magnetic semiconductor nanostructure. The colloidal CdS nanocrystals were prepared via hot injection method and successfully doped with Mn2+ cations. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using UV–Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Systematic studies on effect of Mn2+ doping on photoluminescence, electron spin resonance, and magneto-optical properties are carried out. UV–Vis spectral analysis confirms blue shift in bandgap of CdS nanoparticles due to quantum confinement effect. The X-ray diffraction study confirms hexagonal wurtzite phase formation of CdS nanoparticles without any impurity phases. TEM analysis confirms uniform particle size, having particle size distribution around 5 nm. As-synthesized undoped CdS shows triangular-shaped nanocrystals with hexagonal structure; however, triangular shape of CdS nanoparticles is not conserved after Mn2+ doping. The photoluminescence characteristic spectra of Mn2+-doped CdS nanocrystals showed emission band at 660 nm and its intensity was found to increase with increasing Mn2+ concentration. Electron spin resonance signal, with six-line hyperfine structure splitting, confirmed doping of Mn2+ ions in CdS lattice. Magneto-optic measurements showed linear variation of Faraday rotation with respect to applied magnetic field, indicating paramagnetic behavior of Mn-doped CdS. The highest Verdet constant 24.81 deg/T cm was observed for 2% Mn-doped CdS nanocrystals, which further decreases with increasing Mn2+ concentration.
Un-doped and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized in an ethanolic solution by using a sol-gel method.
Material properties of the samples dependence on preparation conditions and Mn concentrations were investigated while other
parameters were controlled to ensure reproducibility. It was observed that the structural properties, particle size, band
gap, photoluminescence intensity and wavelength of maximum intensity were influenced by the amount of Mn ions present in the
precursor. The XRD spectra for ZnO nanoparticles show the entire peaks corresponding to the various planes of wurtzite ZnO,
indicating a single phase. The diffraction peaks of doped samples are slightly shifted to lower angles with an increase in
the Mn ion concentration, signifying the expansion of the lattice constants and increase in the band gap of ZnO. All the samples
show the absorption in the visible region. The absorbance spectra show that the excitonic absorption peak shifts towards the
lower wavelength side with the Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles. The PL spectra of undoped ZnO consist of UV emission at 388 nm
and broad visible emission at 560 nm with varying relative peak intensities. The doping of ZnO with Mn quenches significantly
the green emission while UV luminescence is slightly affected. 相似文献
CdS nanocrystals with narrow size distribution were synthesized in an organic solution and transparent CdS nanocrystals/polystyrene composite films were fabricated. Transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, photoluminescence and Raman spectra were adopted to investigate these samples. The result of photoluminescence measurement shows that the composite films exhibit distinct luminescence properties of more stable emission and a narrower full-width at half-maximum than that of CdS nanocrystals in solution. Detailed analysis of the Raman spectra has enabled us to identify the origin of the optimized optoelectronic properties of the CdS nanocrystals-polystyrene composites films. 相似文献
Mn-doped ZnS nanocrystals prepared by solvothermal method have been successfully coated with different thicknesses of Zn(OH)2 shells through precipitation reaction. The impact of Zn(OH)2 shells on luminescent properties of the ZnS:Mn nanocrystals was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements showed that the ZnS:Mn nanocrystals have cubic zinc blende structure. The morphology of nanocrystals is spherical shape measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). ZnS:Mn/Zn(OH)2 core/shell nanocrystals exhibited much improved luminescent properties than those of unpassivated ZnS:Mn nanocrystals. The luminescence enhancement was observed with the Zn(OH)2 shell thickening by photoluminescence (PL) spectra at room temperature and the luminescence lifetime of transition from 4T1 to 6A1 of Mn2+ ions was also prolonged. This result was led by the effective, robust passivation of ZnS surface states by the Zn(OH)2 shells, which consequently suppressed nonradiative recombination transitions. 相似文献
Mn-doped ZnO nanocrystals are synthesized by a wet chemical route and treated in H_2/Ar atmosphere with different H_2/Ar ratios.It is found that hydrogen annealing could change the coordination environment of Mn in ZnO lattice and manipulate the magnetic properties of Mn-doped ZnO.Mn ions initially enter into interstitial sites and a Mn~(3+)O_6 octahedral coordination is produced in the prepared Mn-doped ZnO sample,in which the nearest neighbor Mn~(3+) and O~2 ions could form a Mn~(3+)-O~(2-)-Mn~(3+) complex.After H_2 annealing,interstitial Mn ions can substitute for Zn to generate the Mn~(2+)O_4tetrahedral coordination in the nanocrystals,in which neighboring Mn~(2+) ions and H atoms could form a Mn~(2+)-O~(2-)-Mn~(2+)complex and Mn-H-Mn bridge structure.The magnetic measurement of the as-prepared sample shows room temperature paramagnetic behavior due to the Mn~(3+)-O~(2-)-Mn~(3+) complex,while the annealed samples exhibit their ferromagnetism,which originates from the Mn-H-Mn bridge structure and the Mn-Mn exchange interaction in the Mn~(2+)-O~(2-)-Mn~(2+)complex. 相似文献
The structural and photoluminescence analyses were performed on un-doped and Mn doped ZnO thin films grown on Si (1 0 0) substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and annealed at different post-deposition temperatures (500-800 °C). X-ray diffraction (XRD), employed to study the structural properties, showed an improved crystallinity at elevated temperatures with a consistent decrease in the lattice parameter ‘c’. The peak broadening in XRD spectra and the presence of Mn 2p3/2 peak at ∼640 eV in X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic (XPS) spectra of the doped thin films confirmed the successful incorporation of Mn in ZnO host matrix. Extended near band edge emission (NBE) spectra indicated the reduction in the concentration of the intrinsic surface traps in comparison to the doped ones resulting in improved optical transparency. Reduced deep level emission (DLE) spectra in doped thin films with declined PL ratio validated the quenching of the intrinsic surface traps thereby improving the optical transparency and the band gap, essential for optoelectronic and spintronic applications. Furthermore, the formation and uniform distribution of nano-sized grains with improved surface features of Mn-doped ZnO thin films were observed in Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) images. 相似文献
