Abstract

This study reported the successful synthesis of Zn_1–xMn_xS nanowires with completely controlled compositions (0 ≤ x ≤ 1); the x values could be well controlled by tuning the feeding ratio of [(C₄H₉)₂NCS₂]₂Zn to [(C₄H₉)₂NCS₂]₂Mn precursors. The bandgaps of Zn_1−xMn_xS nanowires showed nonlinear bowing character versus the composition. This result provided an effective route for designing Mn-based ternary chalcogenide nanowires with specific bandgaps, which is significant for their better application in photonics and spintronics.
