Laser-assisted synthesis, and structural and thermal properties of ZnS nanoparticles stabilised in polyvinylpyrrolidone

- Zinc sulphide (ZnS) nanoparticles were synthesised by laser irradiation.
- The structural and morphological properties of the prepared samples were analysed.
- Larger particles were obtained by using Na2S instead of TAA as the sulphur source.
- Phonon softening and line broadening of the peaks were observed.
- Size reduction occurred in the samples obtained from both sources.
