- Abstract
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles with different amounts of incorporated Manganese (Mn: 10, 15 and 20 mol%) has been prepared by chemical method. In optical properties the UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra of all samples showed blue shift compared with the bulk CdS and decrease in band gap with Mn concentration. The presence of functional groups was identified by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It confirmed presence of metal sulfur bonding and weak interaction between anions (S) and cations (Mn). The Photoluminescence spectra showed two emission peaks at 397 and 541 nm corresponding to the electron-hole recombination of CdS and surface trap induced emission respectively. In thermal properties thermogravimetric curve indicated increase in weight loss with Mn incorporation suggesting that pure CdS nanoparticles are thermally more stable than Mn incorporated CdS nanoparticles. The antimicrobial activities of Mn incorporated CdS were studied against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as test microorganisms using agar plating-spot inoculation method.
