The surface morphology of the CdS thin films was studied by atomic force microscope. The electrical resistivity of CdS thin films decreased from 5.66 × 103 to 1.72 × 103 Ω.cm with the increase of rotational speed from 1500 to 3000 rpm. The optical transmittance of CdS thin films increased because of reduction in film thickness with the increase of rotational speed. The optical band gap of CdS thin films decreased from 2.65 to 2.46 eV with the increase of rotational speed due to quantum confinement effect. The normal dispersion of refractive index for CdS thin films is described using Wemple-DiDomenico single-oscillator model. The optical dispersion parameters such as single-oscillator energy (Eo), the dispersion energy (Ed) and the static refractive index no were calculated. The Verdet coefficient (V) is determined based on the refractive index dispersion study.

The unique and major task in the synthesis of nanoparticle is choosing of an advanced and ecofriendly method. Nevertheless, physical and chemical methods of synthesis of nanoparticles are too expensive and environmentally unsound. In this study, the green synthesis of nanoparticle’s production methods was evaluated on the basis of variable literatures. Currently, there is a better possibility of using green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, especially a plant, bacterial and fungal production of nanoparticles which is emerging as a novel ecofriendly technique. The growth rate of bacterial culture, the extract of plant secondary metabolite and mycelial surface area of fungus are the main comprehensible mechanism in green synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles, which are produced through green biosynthesis is safe and hold a better possibility to be administered for medical and agricultural usages.
