Abstract
⺠We report on the synthesis of Zn1âxGdxS nanoparticles in aqueous media through a facile and inexpensive synthetic process. ⺠Influence of Gd concentration on structural and optical properties has been investigated. ⺠XRD revealed that Zn1âxGdxS nanoparticles are cubic zincblende structure with an average particle size of 3-5 nm. ⺠Optical studies showed that incorporation of Gd into ZnS enhanced luminescence intensity with increasing Gd concentration.
