ABSTRACTSynthesis of wurtzite-type ZnS nanoparticles by an electric discharge submerged in molten sulfur is reported. By the pulsed plasma between two zinc electrodes of 5 mm diameter in molten sulfur, we have synthesized high-temperature phase (wurtzite-type) ZnS nanocrystals with an average size of about 20 nm. Refined lattice parameters of the synthesized wurtzite-type ZnS nanoparticles were found to be larger than those of the reported ZnS (JCPDS 36-1450). UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy analysis showed that the absorption peak of the as-prepared ZnS sample (319 nm) displays a blue-shift comparing to the bulk ZnS (335 nm). Photoluminescence spectra of the samples revealed peaks at 340, 397, 423, 455 and 471 nm, which were related to excitonic emission and stoichiometric defects. Synthesis of ZnMgS (solid solution of ZnS and MgS) was achieved by using ZnMg alloys as both cathode and anode electrodes. Also, rocksalt structure MgS was synthesized by using magnesium rods as both cathode and anode electrodes.

Embedding rare earth compounds and inorganic materials in polymer matrix are of great interest due to its various applications in sensors, optical batteries etc. The hydrated form of optical compounds possesses interest due to the possibility of crystal field effect on the electronic and magnetic field structure of the 4f shell. The stiochiometric cerium compounds have attracted attention due to its high temperature phase stability, high melting point, low thermal conductivity, optical fluorescence etc. In this paper we discuss the synthesis of cerrous sulphate Ce2(SO4)3, Cerium fluoride CeF3and Cerium Phosphate doped with terbium Ce1-xPO4:Tbxcomposites and dependence of their structural and optical behavior on particle size. Cerrous sulphate exists in several phases, mostly hydrated. In polymer composite the anhydrous phase of Ce2(SO4)3is observed. Also CePO4composites crystallize to monazite phase. The significant changes in Ce3+emission and absorption spectra are observed due to this phase change. Cerium fluoride composites prepared with different concentration show three absorption peaks around 237, 275 and 265nm. The lower concentration of CeF3shows different absorption. CePO4composites doped with various concentrations of terbium shows intense green emission at 543 nm and maximum energy transfer for 10 mol % of Tb3+. The Ce3+emission is shifted to 337nm. The S.E.M. photograph of the composite shows well separated particles with average size 300nm.

Tin mono selenide (SnSe) with an energy gap of about 1 eV is a potential material for photovoltaic applications. Various authors have studied the structure, electronic and photoelectronic properties of thin films of SnSe grown by various deposition techniques. However, for practical photovoltaic junctions the electrical properties of SnSe films need improvement. We have carried out investigations into the properties of flash evaporated SnSe films. In this paper we report our results on the structure, which plays a dominant role on the electrical properties of thin films by TEM, SEM, and electron diffraction (ED).Thin films of SnSe were deposited by flash evaporation of SnSe fine powder prepared from high purity Sn and Se, onto glass, mica and KCl substrates in a vacuum of 2Ø micro Torr. A 15% HF + 2Ø% HNO3 solution was used to detach SnSe film from the glass and mica substrates whereas the film deposited on KCl substrate was floated over an ethanol water mixture by dissolution of KCl. The floating films were picked up on the grids for their EM analysis.

Aims: CdS nanoparticles are an attractive material having application in various field like as pigment in paints, biotag for bioimaging and many more optoelectronic as well as biological applications. Present study aims to synthesize and characterize the CdS nanoparticles to make it applicable in different areas Objectives: Preparation CdS nanoparticles by using simple and facile chemical methods and further physical and structural characterization using various physical tools Methods: In present work CdS nanoparticles has been synthesized by using rationally simple chemical precipitation method with some modi-fication on temperature and incubation time in existed methods. Characterizations were done by employing XRD, SEM, TEM, AFM tech-niques Results: Simple chemical method produces the CdS nanoparticles with the size about 100-200 nm in length and 5-10 nm in diameter. The SEM studies show that the CdS nanoparticles can agglomerate and form a continuous network like structure. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements show the single-phase formation of CdS nanoparticles with the structure of cubic phase, and the broadening of XRD patterns indicates that the prepared samples are nanostructured. Our analysis on CdS nanoparticles by using transmission electron microscope and atomic force microscope (AFM) revealed that the nanoparticles form both spherical and nearly rod shaped with the average size applicable for biotagging. UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis reveals blue shift in the absorption peak probably caused by quantum confinement Conclusion: The observed CdS nanoparticles were appeared yellow in color. The XRD pattern of the CdS nanoparticles showed that the materials were of nanometric sized regime with a predominantly cubic phase along with the rod and round morphology. The study and char-acterization of CdS nanoparticles will bring us a new approach to understand biological problem by tagging nanoparticles with biomolecules and further suggests that the CdS nanoparticles formulate it more suitable biocompatible nanomaterial for biotagging and bioimaging

This paper presents a study on pulsed plasma-chemical synthesis of fluorine- and gold-doped silicon oxide nanopowder. The gold- and fluorine-containing precursors were gold chloride (AuCl3) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). Pulsed plasma-chemical synthesis is realized on the laboratory stand, including a plasma-chemical reactor and TEA-500 electron accelerator. The parameters of the electron beam are as follows: 400–450 keV electron energy, 60 ns half-amplitude pulse duration, up to 200 J pulse energy, and 5 cm beam diameter. We confirmed the composite structure of SixOy@Au by using transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. We determined the chemical composition and morphology of synthesized SixOy@Au and SixOy@F nanocomposites. The material contained a SixOy@Au carrier with an average size of 50–150 nm and a shell of fine particles with an average size of 5–10 nm.
