Cadmium Sulphide (CdS) Quantum Particles: Synthesis, Characterization and Properties

Abstract

Yellow colored CdS quantum particles were prepared by template synthesis method. The particles are passivated by thiophenol as template was confirmed by FTIR technique.  HRTEM image showed that the wurtzite polycrystalline nanoparticles have size of the order of 15-50 nm. The compound nano-semiconducting sample was subjected to VSM and Impedance measurements to reveal the magnetic and electrical nature of the sample respectively. The properties varied significantly from that of bulk grain sized sample.
