AbstractNanoparticles of ZnS and Mn-doped ZnS capped with TOPO (tri-n-octylphosphine oxide) and close to mono-dispersed have been prepared by a single source route using bis(diethyldithiocarbamato) zinc(II) as a precursor. The nanoparticles obtained show quantum size effects in their optical spectra and ZnS nanoparticles exhibit near band-edge luminescence. Clear difference in photoluminescence results between ZnS and ZnS:Mn samples. Changes in Mn-doping levels are shown by the changes in photoluminescence intensity. The most intense photoluminescence was observed for 1% and the least intense for 5% doping level. ESR spectra and ICP results confirm the presence of Mn in ZnS quantum dots and also correspond to the amount of Mn in each ZnS:Mn sample.The Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED), X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) show the material to be of the hexagonal phase. The crystallinity of the material was also evident from High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) which gave well-defined images of nanosize particles with clear lattice fringes.

The synthesis of hexagonal phase Zn1-xMnxS (x = 0–0.05) nanorods was achieved by hydrothermal treatment of zinc manganese diethyldithiocarbamates (Zn1-xMnx-(DDTC)2, x=0–0.05) in 40 mass % hydrate hydrazine aqueous solution at 180 °C for 12 h. The structure, composition and optical property of the obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra.

ABSTRACTCdS and Mn-doped CdS capped with TOPO (tri-n-octylphosphineoxide) have been prepared by a single source route using bis(methylhexyldithiocarbamato)cadmium(II) and manganese dichloride as precursors. The nanoparticles obtained show quantum size effects in their optical spectra with the CdS nanoparticles exhibiting near band-edge luminescence. The PL spectrum of the doped CdS nanoparticles have an emission maximum at 585 nm attributed to the 4T1-6A1 electronic transition of Mn in a tetrahedral site. However the PL spectrum changes over time (weeks) and gave a deep trap emission. The Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern show both CdS and the Mn doped CdS particles to be of the hexagonal phase. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and High Resolution TEM show well-defined images of nanosize particles with clear lattice fringes. ESR spectra and ICP results confirm the presence of Mn in the CdS nanoparticles.

The synthesis of hexagonal phase Mn-doped CdS (Cd1-xMnxS) nanorods was achieved by solvothermal treatment of a class of easily obtained, air-stable single-source molecular precursors (cadmium manganese diethyldithiocarbamates, Cd1-xMnx-(DDTC)2) in ethylenediamine at 180 °C for 12 h. The structures and compositions of the as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.

AbstractApplication of transmission electron microscopy on sub-half micron devices has been illustrated in terms of process evaluation and failure analysis. For process evaluation, it is emphasized that a large number of features need to be examined in order to have reliable conclusions about the processes, while for failure analysis, the goal is to pin-point a single process step causing failure or a single source introducing the particle defect.

A facile green approach has been developed to control the growth regime in the aqueous synthesis of CdxZn1-xTe semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) based on the electrochemistry method. The Low growth temperature and slow injection of Te precursor are used to prolong the diffusion controlled stage and thus suppress Ostwald ripening during the nanocrystal growth. The experimental results showed that a low concentration of Te precursor will definitely influence the growth procedure. The UV–visible absorption spectra, as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows the QDs a good monodispersity at any interval of the reaction procedure. The high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern suggested that the as-prepared QDs have high crystallinity and cubic structure. The size and composition-dependent fluorescent emission wavelength of the resultant CdxZn1-xTe alloyed QDs can be tuned from 460 to 610 nm, and their photoluminescent quantum yield can reach up to 70%. Especially in the wavelength range of 510–578 nm, the overall PL QYs of the as-prepared CdxZn1-xTe QDs were above 50%. The current work suggests that electrochemical method is an attractive approach to the synthesis of high-quality II-VI ternary alloyed semiconductor QDs at large-scale with a prominent cost advantage.
