ZnS:Cu thin films were deposited on glass substrate using chemical bath by neutral pH solution synthesis route. Cu is varied between 0 and 0.1 M%. The XRD measurement shows hexagonal structure with the average crystalline size between 1.67 and 2.47 nm (below Bohr diameter). Energy dispersive X-ray spectrum reveals the presence of Cu in the Zn-S lattice. The increase of lattice parameters, the reduction of particle size and a small shift in XRD peaks by Cu-doping reveals the substitution of Cu2+ ions into the Zn-S lattice. The observed red shift of green emission from 506 to 519 nm in photoluminescence spectra confirms the presence of Cu2+ ions that are embedded in the Zn-S matrix. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
