Influence of doping with Sb3+, In3+, and Bi3+ ions on the structural, optical and dielectric properties of ZnS nanoparticles synthesized by ultrasonication process

Doped-ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) with various trivalent elements ions (Sb3+, In3+, and Bi3+) were synthesized using the sonochemical method. X-ray diffraction patterns proved the formation of the ZnS cubic phase without any phase separation with the doping process. The dependence of the crystallite size and the internal micro-strain on the dopant type was demonstrated. Optical absorption spectra of doped ZnS NPs revealed a decrease in the optical...
