Abstract :
Chemical precipitation method was used for the synthesis of Mn2+ doped ZnS/CdS composite nanopowder
at room temperature. The formation of the nano composite structure has been evidenced by XRD and FT-IR.
Crystalline nature and size of the particles have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction study with cubic phase of ZnS
as well as CdS. The average crystallite size is found to be in the order of nano size and the corresponding lattice
parameters, micro strain and dislocation density are evaluated. FT-IR spectrum showed the characteristic vibrational
modes related to Zn-S, Cd-S and other functional groups of the present prepared sample.
