Spectroscopic characterization and life time study of Manganese doped and undoped zinc sulfide nanocrystals.

Doping ZnS nanocrystals with Mn2+ ions allows it to emit in the orange region and opens up its applications in electroluminescent displays, spintronics and biomedical labeling. One of the most interesting aspects of ZnS:Mn nanoparticles is the elucidation of factors that influence the shortening of...
