Abstract

Chemical deposition is used to form thin-film layers of manganese-doped zinc sulfide (ZnS(Mn)) on frosted glass substrates. The films are ~220 nm thick and composed of lenticular-shaped grains with sizes smaller than those of ZnS films. It is found that introducing manganese(II) chloride into the reaction mixture preserves the excess content of the metal over the content of chalcogen. Manganese in amounts of 2.5 ± 0.25 at. % is detected in a film formed at the maximum concentration of MnCl2 in the reactor. X-ray diffraction reveals the formation of amorphous ZnS and ZnS(Mn) layers with short-range order of the environment of atoms with a B4-type hexagonal structure (space group P63mc). The band gap of the films, calculated from optical spectroscopy data, falls from 3.68 to 3.54 eV upon an increase in the content of manganese. It is shown that incorporating manganese into a film results in photoluminescence in the range of 580–620 nm. At the maximum content of manganese, the photoluminescence is approximately double that of ZnS. Luminescence quenching is independent of the concentration of dopant for all film samples and is characterized by a decay period of 13–15 μs.
