Abstract:
Diluted magnetic semiconductors Zn
1-xMnxS with different consistency ratios (x =0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.07) have been synthesized by hydrothermal method using ethylenediamine as a modifier. The crystal microstructure, morphology and optical and magnetic properties of the samples were characterized by XRD, FESEM, HRTEM and XEDS, photoluminescence spectra (PL) and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The experiment results show that all samples synthesized by this method possess wurtzite structure with good crystallization, and no other impurity phase appears. The morphology of the samples is one-dimensional nanorods and well dispersed. Mn2+ enters into the ZnS lattice to substitute for the lattice site of Zn2+, and the lattice constant decreases with the increase of Mn content. The PL spectra of the samples have obvious ultraviolet emission peak, blue emission peak and green emission peak, and the luminescence peak has a blue-shift. At the same time, a certain amount of Mn doped ZnS nanocrystals have ferromagnetic properties at room temperature.
