Abstract

Photoluminescent emissions of zinc sulfide–silica–cerium thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering were observed. The films consisted of ZnS nanocrystals embedded in amorphous SiO2 matrices. ZnS–SiO2:Ce films exhibited photoluminescence even without postannealing. Their emission spectra showed broad patterns in the visible range; the emitted colors depended on film composition.
