Abstract

Manganese-incorporated ZnS (MnxZn1-xS) nanorods were synthesized by a simple solvothermal process. Synthesized nanorods were single crystalline. Manganese incorporation in the ZnS lattice induces a phase transformation from hexagonal wurtzite to cubic zinc blende structure. The diameter of the nanorods increased with the increase of Mn concentration. Intense orange luminescence at ∼585 nm was observed for the nanorods. Six-line hyperfine splitting was observed in the EPR spectra for lower Mn concentrations, whereas broad Lorentzian-shaped EPR spectra were obtained for higher Mn concentrations because of the Mn-Mn cluster formation at higher Mn concentrations.
