In this paper the influence of ZnO shell thickness on the luminescence properties of Mn-doped ZnS nanoparticles is studied. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the average diameter of ZnS:Mn nanoparticles is around 14 nm. The formation of ZnO shells on the surface of ZnS:Mn nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) images, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. A strong increase followed by a gradual decline was observed in the room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra with the thickening of the ZnO shell. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra exhibited a blue shift in ZnO-coated ZnS:Mn nanoparticles compared with the uncoated ones. It is shown that the PL enhancement and the blue shift of optimum excitation wavelength are led by the ZnO-induced surface passivation and compressive stress on the ZnS:Mn cores.
本文研究了ZnO壳层厚度对Mn掺杂ZnS纳米颗粒发光性能的影响。透射电子显微镜(TEM)图像显示,ZnS:Mn纳米颗粒的平均直径约为14nm。通过X射线衍射(XRD)图谱、高分辨率TEM(HRTEM)图像和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)测量证实了在ZnS:Mn纳米颗粒表面形成了ZnO壳层。随着ZnO壳层增厚,室温光致发光(PL)光谱中出现先强烈增加后逐渐下降的现象。与未包覆的相比,ZnO包覆的ZnS:Mn纳米颗粒的光致发光激发(PLE)光谱表现出蓝移。结果表明,PL增强和最佳激发波长的蓝移是由ZnO诱导的表面钝化和ZnS:Mn核上的压应力导致的。
