Abstract
Cd1−xTbxS (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal technique. The effect of Tb-doping on structural, optical and magnetic properties were studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed wurtzite phase without any impurity. HR-TEM micrographs revealed the particle size of ~ 18 nm with spherical morphology. Band gap calculated from UV–Visible absorption spectra showed an initial decrease from 2.49 eV (x = 0) to 2.45 eV (x = 0.10). Further, increasing Tb-doping to x = 0.15 band gap increased to 2.54 eV. Photoluminescence emission spectra showed peaks at 430 and 490 nm for x = 0 and 0.05 which corresponds to blue emission. Further increase in Tb doping, peaks found to be quenched. Peak at 530 nm is due to green emission and shifted to higher wavelength with Tb-doping. Magnetic analysis confirmed ferromagnetism in both undoped and Tb-doped nanoparticles. Saturation magnetization found to decrease upto x = 0.10 and increased for x = 0.15.
