Highly luminescent ZnS:Mn/ZnS core shell nanoparticles for solid state lightning

Abstract

This paper presents some results from a study of luminescent properties of core shell zinc sulphide (ZnS) nanoparticles (NPs) with the Mn doped core and ZnS as the shell. Influencing factors like core shell structure and dopant concentration are tuned to investigate the effects on their luminescent properties. Results indicate that these luminescent nanoparticles potentially can be used in LEDs.
