The nanostructures of the prepared undoped ZnS and Mn2+ doped ZnS:Mn nanoparticles have been analysed using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and Fourier Transform Infrared studies have been studied. There is a wavelength shift in the emission of manganese doped samples. The size and shape of the synthesized nanoparticles have been studied using the Transmission Electron Microscope. Chemical manipulation towards both size and shape tunable preparation is achieved successfully.en-US
