Abstract

Electrical and optical character of nanostructured Cr1-xVxS2 is studied here. This sulphide based nanoClusters (NC) was developed through chemical sol-gel route using (NH4)2Cr2O7 and NH4VO3 as active reagent and biopolymer gum acacia is used as capping agent. Core-shell NC has developed with sequential addition of active reagents in sulphation process. It is also possible to develop another type of core shell NC by reversal of the sequence of added reagents, i.e. interchanging the core and shell part. Experimental investigation including UV-VIS spectroscopy, dc current-voltage characteristics (CVC) have carried on. The results of CVC at room temperature (RT) show the distinctive features of localized energy levels. UV-VIS spectroscopic analysis shows absorption peak is blue shifted due to quantum confinement of nanoparticles. Overall appearance of optical absorption curve is completely different for two NCs. Peak positions are different for two types of core shell NC which confirms that the constituent materials of core and shell of two NC s has interchanged.
