Abstract
One-dimensional semiconductor nanoribbons of hexagonal wurtzite sulfides (ZnS and CdS) have been prepared in bulk quantity by a thermal evaporation technique using thiol-capped gold nanoparticles as catalysts. Compared to their starting materials, ZnS and CdS powders, the band-gap photoluminescence excited by ultraviolet light from ZnS and CdS nanoribbons at room temperature was significantly enhanced. X-ray-excited optical luminescence at the S K edge confirms the near-band-gap and the defect origin of the luminescence.
