Abstract

Transparent ZnS∶Mn(II) nanocrystal solution was obtained by the reaction of Na₂S with a histidine-coordinated Zn²⁺ and Mn²⁺ solution with a sulfide/(Zn + Mn) ratio of 1.0 under stirring at room temperature. Nanocrystals of 8.3 nm in size were precipitated by addition of ethanol. The optical properties and structural characteristics of the nanocrystals are reported.
