Title A name given to the resource Highly luminescent ZnS:Mn quantum dots capped with aloe vera extract Description An account of the resource This study demonstrates the optical properties of ZnS:Mn2+ qquantum dots synthesized by simple and eco-friendly chemical precipitation method using aloe vera (AV) extract as the stabilizing agent. The nanoparticles have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. Increase in band gap energy with decrease in particle size was observed from DRS studies due to quantum confinement effect. Dominant yellow emission was observed from characteristic 4T1?6A1 transitions of the Mn2+ions in the ZnS:Mn/AV nanoparticles. The results provide insight to the quantum confinement effect that occur and how it affect decay life time of the ZnS:Mn2+/AV nanoparticles. 2020 Elsevier Ltd Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bindu K.R.; Kumar S.A.; Anilkumar M.; Anila E.I.
