Abstract
Mn-doped ZnS (MnxZn1-xS) nanorods were synthesized by a simple solvothermal process. Synthesized nanorods were single crystalline. Mn incorporation in the ZnS lattice induces a phase transformation from hexagonal wurtzite to cubic zincblende structure. Intense orange luminescence at ∼585 nm was observed for the doped ZnS nanorods. Six-hyperfine splitting was observed in the EPR spectra for lower Mn concentrations and broad Lorentzian-shaped EPR spectra were obtained for higher Mn concentrations.
