Abstract

We have created ZnS nanoparticles using pulsed laser ablation of ceramic target in water with an aim to produce nanoparticles with uniform distribution of the size. The particle size, structure, and physical properties were systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The ZnS nanoparticles were confirmed from XRD, Raman and SAED patterns to possess the sphalerite structure. Chemical composition of the ZnS nanoparticles was found to be stoichiometric. HRTEM images exhibited well-arranged lattices with the space of 0.274 nm for (200) plane and that of 0.317 nm for (111) plane. The present results demonstrate that pulsed laser ablation in water is effective and promising to create nanoparticles with controllable size in a large scale.
