CdS quantum dots of face centered cubic (fcc) and h exagonal close packed (hcp) structures were synthesized from sulphur source of sodium sulphide and thioacetamide respectively via microwave-hydrothermal method. The synthesized quantum dots were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transm ission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The average particle size in the range 8.5 - 12.5 nm increases with the increase of microwave exposure t ime from 10 to 40 min. Particles with hcp structure are larger than those with the fcc st ructure. The band gap in the range 2.54 2.65 eV decreases with the increase of microwave exposure time and the particles with the hcp structure have larger band gap than those with the fcc structure. The band gap of the CdS quantum dots were also derived from time independent Schrodinger equations for CdS system and calculated using the density functio nal theory (DFT). There is good agreement between the measured and calculated band gap values. The results also reveal that the band gap decreases with the increase of pa rticle size due to the quantum size effects.
