Abstract

ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) were used as host materials for Pb doping at different concentrations (0, 2.5, 6.5, and 10.5). Co-precipitation method was used to prepare un-doped and Pb-doped at room temperature. Crystalline of ZnS and Pb-doped ZnS NPs with cubic structure were obtained, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Observation of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that un-doped and Pb-doped at 6.5% ZnS NPs have a spherical form with an average diameter of 4.6 nm and 3 nm, respectively. Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) was measured from 400 to 4000 cm−1, and FTIR data showed that the intensity of absorption peaks decreased with the increase of Pb concentration. The results of the UV- visible absorption spectroscopy indicated that the Pb-doped ZnS NPs exhibit a strong quantum confinement effect as the optical band gap energy (EG) increased significantly compared to the un-doped and bulk ZnS. Furthermore, a wide range of nuclear shielding parameters were studied for prepared nanoparticle samples using the Phy-X/PSD software program. The results showed that the ZnS NPs with Pb-doped, which have the lowest nanodiameter, have a greater ability to protect against nuclear radiation.
