Article Description

EuS and GdOS nanocrystals with narrow size distribution are synthesized in high yields by the thermal decomposition of Eu(oleate) or Gd(oleate) in oleylamine using CS as the sulfur source. The dimensionalities of these nanocrystals can be facilely tuned by the addition of 1-dodecanethiol. The morphologies and crystal structures of EuS and GdOS nanocrystals are characterized by TEM and XRD. The magnetic properties of the obtained nanocrystals are also investigated. The experimental results illustrate that CS is an effective sulfur source for the preparation of metal sulfide and lanthanide oxysulfide semiconductor nanocrystals.
