Abstract
We performed first-principles calculations to study the energetics, geometric and electronicproperties of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanostructures. ZnS nanowires (ZnSNWs), nanotubes(ZnSNTs) and nanosheets (ZnSNSs) were considered. Both ZnSNWs and ZnSNTs modeledusing hexagonal prisms with the atomic arrangement displaying the characters of wurtzitecrystal are more stable than the single-walled ZnS nanotubes presented in previousliterature. The energy evolution of ZnSNWs and ZnSNTs as a function of tube diameterand wall thickness was calculated and explained using a simple model. The comparisonbetween the energetics and electronic structures of these ZnS nanostructures was alsoaddressed.
